The Toadies have released a new song titled “The Charmer,” which is also the name of their upcoming album. This track reflects frontman Vaden Lewis’ ongoing battle with low self-esteem. Lewis shared, “I was afraid that if I lose that part of me that has such self-loathing, I won’t be able to write music anymore. I decided to take that apart and make it a character, The Charmer.” The album, “The Charmer,” is set to drop on May 1 and was recorded with the late engineer Steve Albini, who passed away in 2024.
