Feeler
Interscope (put this on the shelf 12 years ago and it’s still there)
This is awesome! It’s the lost Toadies album!
Long-story-short:
After the platinum success of Rubberneck, The Toadies recorded their second LP Feeler in 1997. Interscope Records, in its infinite wisdom, decided against releasing the album. Minus a stray Buzzfest appearance here and there, The Toadies largely disappeared until 2001’s Stars Above/Hell Below (also awesome). The came the break-up, the Burden Bros. and the reunion without bassist Lisa Umbarger.
I remember that, during this 97/98 period, Austin’s 101X would play “Waterfalls”, calling it a new, unreleased track. I suppose that was partially true. The moral of the story is that no one should sign with a major label. The majors have a long history of pulling this kind of shit. Don’t let it happen to you.
