Toadies – The Charmer Toadies return with The Charmer, their long-awaited eighth studio album and most personal and visceral work to date. One of the last recordings by late, legendary producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, PJ Harvey etc.), record captures the Texas foursome live in the studio bottling their raw, Southern-tinged grunge with unfiltered immediacy. Formed in Fort Worth in 1989, Toadies marry the band’s love for the Pixies and Talking Heads to the old-school country, ZZ Top, and classic rock they all grew up on. It’s a sound intoxicating but uneasy, cathartic yet always searching. Frontman Vaden Todd Lewis channels years of self-reflection into The Charmer, a concept born from pandemic isolation and a reckoning with self-doubt. Released via Austin’s pioneering Spaceflight Records (The Sword, Die Spitz, Heartless Bastards), the world’s first nonprofit label, The Charmer embodies true creative freedom: made on their own terms, with Steve Albini their dream producer. The Charmer is the most defiantly “Toadies” Toadies album yet. NEW RECORD AND ON TOUR IN 2026 Listen Catch Up With Toadies Promo Assets Booking: Andy
