I’ve long been very supportive of what Matthew Young has been doing with his Song, By Toad blog and label -and indeed the favour has often been returned.

Amongst his latest signings are King Post Kitsch, who (his name’s Charlie, it would appear) his debut single next week. It’s a four-track single entitled ‘Don’t You Touch My Fucking Honeytone’ which is rather ace. I think it’s what the Hives might soundlike if they ingested lots of fizzy pop and hung out in Glasgow and tried to blend in, aftre losing their suits.

You can hear it here:

Meanwhile, the album The Party’s Over will be released soon. It may share its’ title with Talk Talk’s debut, but I suspect the similarity may well end there.

You can also downlaod an EP from earlier this year by visiting the Bandcamp here

Now, I like to think I’ve made it blatantly bloody obvious how good the stuff on the Toad label is (last year’s Top 50 albums on here had several entries from the label), but if you haven’t been paying attention, here is a sampler Matthew has made available:

Enjoy!
