| NEW SINGLE 'COME BACK!' OUT NOW! AVAILABLE AS DIGITAL RELEASE ONLY iTunes 7 Digital djdownload.com Vodafone Live AND ALL GOOD DIGITAL DOWNLOAD STORES. "Allow Come Back to cast its spell on you and you'll be forever humming. The latest release from lounge-metal advocates 12 Stone Toddler builds on previous release Candles on the Cake and revisits the themes of getting older and the desire to maintain the innocence of youth. Like a laid back Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster, the band delightfully combine straightforward rock swagger with eerie and disquieting musical nuances. Whilst not as immediately likeable as 2006's The Rabbit, it perfectly fuses their myriad of influences, ranging from Nick Cave at his most brooding, to Frank Zappa at his wackiest. Allow Come Back to cast its spell on you and you'll be forever humming." Written by Neal Parsons - TheSkinnyMag.co.uk DEBUT ALBUM Available now on iTunes Amazon.co.uk HMV Play.com Resident-Music, Brighton Rounder Records, Brighton and all other good record stores... Special Edition DigiPack CD with 16 Paged Pullout Booklet "... without question the best debut album of the millennium... hands down one of the best debuts I’ve ever heard." Tim Wardyn - music-critic.com "...this is a fantastic album...Does It Scare You? will surprise you by being one of the best albums of the year so far." Phill May - rockmidgets.com "...this is the past & future of rock n roll, make it the present, buy it." Unpeeled.co.uk ""... listening to this gigantic infant’s debut WILL make you cooler." skinnymag.co.uk NEW SINGLE 'Candles On The Cake' NOW ON iTUNES "Having bagged themselves what may prove to be the last great name for a band, 12 Stone Toddler can get on with their one-band assault on that most neglected of genres, that of lounge metal. Simultaneously magnificently louche and uncomplicatedly ROCK, Candles On The Cake takes a wry song about our culture's obsession with age or the lack thereof, and makes it sound so sleazy that it would be right at home underpinning the latest carnal exertions of Jenna Jameson. She's a porn star, as if you didn't know, and 12 Stone Toddler may end up dating her if they continue on their fine trajectory." PETE CASHMORE - THE GUARDIAN iTunes Amazon.co.uk HMV and all other good record stores... "Twang - is a premium example of coooooool noise, the kind of thing that transcends, fashion, genre and mood." Unpeeled - SINGLE OF THE YEAR "Put simply, this is one of the most brilliant, original singles you are likely to hear this year." Artrocker - SINGLE OF THE WEEK "With the pool room sleaze of prime squeeze and the raucous, stabbing riffage of QOTSA on a morphine downer… Genius!" subba-cultcha.com |

Sounds Like: Does It Scare You? on iTunes LATEST LIVE REVIEW Halloween Party @ The Yard 3rd Nov 2007 reviewer: Cat McGovern "In an industrial estate in West London, cleverly disguised as a Halloween grotto, jack o’ lanterns guide the way to this peculiar venue. Revelers in Halloween attire wander about the place, confronted with models of hanged men, whilst drinking their hot toddies and pumpkin soup. These aesthetics seem fitting for 12 Stone Toddler to play in; their sound echoes the mood of the venue. As they commence their blend of deep guitars and strong vocals take over. Even though the microphone wasn’t working very well and there was a rave room next door, their sound penetrated through. Lead vocalist Chris Otero’s soulful, strong and somewhat haunting voice captivated the crowd as they manically danced around the place. It is strange to watch a band with The Scream standing one side of you and Gandolf on the other side. Ben Jones, on keyboards, provides the band with the best sound addition to any band, the electric organ. An electric organ gives a band an edge and a distinguished sound. Each song they played was of different musical genre and they didn’t stick to one style, they tried them all. At times they sounded ska, then rock/pop, to lounge, then definitely a vibe of playful fairground tunes. It is hard to keep up with their ever changing styles. However, this is not a negative but rather to their credit. They are stylistically versatile and they made sure that their audience was kept entertained throughout their whole performance. Otero’s addictive bass lines pull the band together which in turn makes their sound what it is. Their tunes definitely translate better live than on record but they are still awesome. With great lyrics and intriguing ska/fairground/lounge influences, this band is sure to succeed." Record Label: Amazon Type of Label: Indie |
