Toadies
Band Fort Worth United States Formed 1989
Toadies formed in 1989 in Fort Worth, United States. Toadies has 85 chart appearances on 74 radio countdowns from 34 stations on RockLists, spanning 1994–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Possum Kingdom”, which appears on 69 lists with a best position of #4. The station that charted Toadies most often is 101X (Austin, TX), with 9 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 1995.
Toadies came crawling out of Fort Worth, Texas, in 1989, and their 1994 album Rubberneck sounds like a fever dream: Vaden Todd Lewis yelping and snarling over wiry, lurching guitars, Darrel Herbert on lead, Lisa Umbarger's bass and Mark Reznicek's drums pushing the whole thing forward with a coiled menace.
"Possum Kingdom" is the song everybody knows, a creepy, stop-start slow burn that erupts into full-throated howling, and it has never loosened its grip on rock radio's countdowns; "Away" gave the album a second jolt.
What came after was a mess. An album called Feeler was turned down by Interscope in 1997 and shelved, and the band called it quits in 2001 after Umbarger left, having released just two albums. They reformed in 2006, put out No Deliverance two years later and finally released Feeler through Kirtland Records in 2010. The Charmer, their latest, arrived in May 2026.
