We’ve been waiting to hear new Sydney bands The Toads and The Judges for a while now. Both feature Billy Gardner and the the former just announced the release of their debut LP in June. In the Wilderness is coming out on Anti Fade, of course, and on Upset the Rhythm in the UK. Also in the group are Stella from Parsnip, Miles from The Shifters and drummer Elsie Retter. In an interview for Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie the group explains the simple concept for the band’s songs. Billy plays the chords, Stella adds melody on bass and then they switch for the chorus. On top of that Miles adds his unique style of writing and delivering lyrics.
