The Alternative Rock band known as Toad the Wet Sprocket began their journey in 1986, in Santa Barbara, California. Putting in the work, it took three studio albums before they finally made a commercial breakthrough, via 1991’s Fear, whose chart-topping singles “All I Want” and “Walk on the Ocean” catapulted the quartet to popularity. Their most successful work was followed by two records more, 1994’s Dulcinea and 1997’s Coil, and another string of successful singles such as “Something’s Always Wrong,” “Fall Down,” “Fly from Heaven,” “Come Down,” and “Crazy Life,” which was included in the soundtrack of the 1995 film Empire Records. Starting Now is a collection of 10 songs that all carry the trademark sound of Toad the Wet Sprocket–characterized by folky, acoustic-oriented guitar playing and Vocalist/Guitarist Glen Phillips’ introspective songwriting and pained voice. In spite of undergoing a couple of hibernation periods, Toad the Wet Sprocket–currently consisting of founders Phillips, Todd Nichols (lead guitar, backing vocals, mandolin), and Dean Dining (bass, backing vocals, keyboards, rhythm guitar) and new member Josh Daubin (drums, percussion, backing vocals)–is able to bounce back to relevance and vitality.
