Feeler

Description

It was a long told rock and roll urban myth, Toadies made a record in1997 entitled Feeler which was meant to be the follow up to the criticallyacclaimed, platinum selling Rubberneck. Alas, it was not meant to be.Toadies spent months writing, demeoing and finally recording thierfollow up. When the label s response finally came, it wasn t exactly whatthe band had been expecting.Toadies guitarist Clark Vogler says We can t help but feel a bit of redemptionreleasing Feeler after Interscope decided it wasn t good enoughand shelved it. We always thought it was going to be a good Toadiesalbum, and since there were unfinished versions floating around on theInternet, it was important to us that people hear it as we meant it to be. Toadies recently re-united with Rob Schnapf, who co-produced boththe Rubberneck and Hell Below/Stars Above albums. They ve chosentheir favorite songs (and a couple others that weren t actually recordedduring the Feeler sessions) and are finally unleashing them on an unsuspectingworld. Not exactly the album that might have been released as thefollow-up to Rubberneck, but the album that SHOULD have been.Feeler comes after the band s first CD in over 7 years, No Deliverancewhich was released in the summer of 2008. No Deliverance spawned aTop 40 single with the title track at Active Rock radio, has sold over 50kcopies to date and was the #4 selling indie record week of release.
