Critical reception
The Lower Side of Uptown is the seventh studio album by the alternative rock band Toadies. It was released in September 2017 by independent record label Kirtland Records.[3]
Background
Lead guitarist Clark Vogeler stated the 'original compositions' make the album "closest to old-school Toadies than any others we’ve made in the last 10 years."[4] He said "I feel that subconsciously we thought that this record would have ended up incorporating some of that quieter sound, but that didn’t happen."[5] The album was produced by Chris “Frenchie” Smith.[6] The album was described as "a well thought-out project with a lot of talent."[7]
