Toad the Wet Sprocket is an American alternative pop rock band named for a Monty Python comedy sketch.Legacy Recordings Profile: Toad the Wet Sprocket Bio

In 1988, band members Randy Guss, Todd Nichols, Dean Dinning and Glen Phillips recorded their first album, Bread And Circus. Produced at a cost of only $650, it caught the attention of Columbia Records, who signed the band, agreeing to reissue the album without any changes or remixes.Legacy Recordings Profile: Toad the Wet Sprocket Bio

1991 saw the release of Fear, their third album, which launched All I Want, a song that was almost cut from the album during production, and Walk On The Ocean, which peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100. Though Fear went gold and was their most successful album it was considered a deviation from the band's preferred style.Musician Guide: Toad The Wet Sprocket Biographyallmusic: Singles Charts

Between the release of Dulcinea in 1994 and Coil in 1997 the band toured throughout Britain and the U.S performing hits such as Fall Down, and Good Intentions. In 1998 the group broke up before the release of P.S.: A Toad Retrospective.Musician Guide: Toad The Wet Sprocket Biographyallmusic: Singles Charts
