12 Stone Toddler – Amazon Records

“…one of Brighton’s best loved bands, with a massive cultish following of devotees who would pack out every gig, drink the bar dry and terrify the locals on their rowdy way home. I don’t think I’m being over the top by saying they felt like a phenomenon at the time…” BRIGHTONSFINEST

Biography

Remember when rock was anti-fashion, didn’t stay in neat little categories and represented a deviation from the norm? 12 Stone Toddler were always one of those greats: a band that represented a marriage of opposites. Heady esoteric eclecticism combined with a love for perfect three-minute wonders. Jagged riffs like huge menacing monoliths ushering in magical melodies that were sweet like candy and dangerously infectious. We thought we had seen the last of rock’s beloved fat baby, but we were wrong: Toddler are back and it’s time to celebrate.

Highly original, musically outrageous, stylistically uncompromising, very spontaneous, but also very tight, Brighton’s 12 Stone Toddler are a synthesis of all that’s good about contemporary adventurous rock music. On stage the band are an assault on the eyes and ears with Zappa-esque hard funk-rock rhythms at its heart and they do it is with a self-confident swagger born of an interdependent musical excellence, matched only by some.

Brightonsfinest Presents have reissued 12 Stone Toddler’s first two albums, Does It Scare You? and Scheming on limited edition, coloured swirly 12″ vinyl for the first time.
