12 STONE TODDLER:
Back in 2007, 12 Stone Toddler were indisputably one of the most exciting and original bands to have come out of an already vibrant and buzzing music scene in Brighton; music capital of the UK's South Coast. They were quickly identified as a group highly likely to break through by all those who heard them. Not only were they a superb live outfit of virtuoso musicians with a strong stage presence, but they brandished an eclectic (even fearlessly) broad and original musical style. Their impeccable songwriting and wonderful delivery set them further apart still. No two songs sounded the same. There was no formula. Yet everything they touched had the same hallmark: quirky, original, dark, accomplished, beautiful, unique, funny, philosophical. They were genuinely loved by local press and fans alike.
Two superb albums - DOES IT SCARE YOU? (2007) and SCHEMING (2009) (both originally released on Amazon Records) - came out in relatively quick succession. They consolidated the band's cult following, achieved rapturous critical acclaim (see below) and amassed considerable support, but then, like something from one of their own songs, the band simply disappeared.
Until now that is....
12 Stone Toddler are back! Newly signed to Freshly Squeezed and with a revamped line-up including the founder members and songwriters Ben Jones and Chris Otero on Keyboards, Bass and Vocals respectively, they have played selected shows at this years Glastonbury, Boomtown and Bestival, with a not-so-secret sell out show in their hometown of Brighton.
And now...
We are seriously excited to be releasing the 3rd album from this truly great and inspirational band. We will be reposting their previous videos and albums to this channel as well as releasing their new material.
