Feeler

Feeler

It was a long told rock and roll urban myth, Toadies made a record in<br>1997 entitled Feeler which was meant to be the follow up to the critically<br>acclaimed, platinum selling Rubberneck. Alas, it was not meant to be.<br>Toadies spent months writing, demeoing and finally recording thier<br>follow up. When the label s response finally came, it wasn t exactly what<br>the band had been expecting.<br>Toadies guitarist Clark Vogler says We can t help but feel a bit of redemption<br>releasing Feeler after Interscope decided it wasn t good enough<br>and shelved it. We always thought it was going to be a good Toadies<br>album, and since there were unfinished versions floating around on the<br>Internet, it was important to us that people hear it as we meant it to be. <br>Toadies recently re-united with Rob Schnapf, who co-produced both<br>the Rubberneck and Hell Below/Stars Above albums. They ve chosen<br>their favorite songs (and a couple others that weren t actually recorded<br>during the Feeler sessions) and are finally unleashing them on an unsuspecting<br>world. Not exactly the album that might have been released as the<br>follow-up to Rubberneck, but the album that SHOULD have been.<br>Feeler comes after the band s first CD in over 7 years, No Deliverance<br>which was released in the summer of 2008. No Deliverance spawned a<br>Top 40 single with the title track at Active Rock radio, has sold over 50k<br>copies to date and was the #4 selling indie record week of release.
