TOLEDO, an American indie rock duo that's been lighting up the music scene from their roots in Newburyport, Massachusetts, to their current home in Brooklyn, New York to their sold out shows in LA and beyond. Composed of the inseparable duo Daniel Alvarez de Toledo and Jordan Dunn-Pilz, their story began with childhood busking sessions, leading to a sound that's both serene and invigorating, with harmonies and guitar lines that capture the essence of a nostalgic, lazy-haze day.
Their debut EP "Hotstuff" in 2019 was a breakout moment, quickly amassing over 4 million streams on Spotify, marking TOLEDO as a band to watch. Their music, a unique blend of indie rock and pop, carries the weight of their personal stories, connecting deeply with listeners. With "Jockeys of Love" in 2021, they delved into complex themes like family, trauma, and growth, with tracks like "David" resonating for its heartfelt exploration of healing.
The release of their first full-length album, "How It Ends," in the fall of 2022 through Grand Jury Records, was a pivotal moment, showcasing a richer narrative and sound. The subsequent deluxe edition, "How It Ends [UNRATED EDITION]" in March 2023, only amplified their rising profile, introducing tracks like "Oak Hill" to an eager audience.
TOLEDO's commitment to self-production in their Brooklyn basement studio adds a layer of authenticity to their work, while their performances are becoming legendary for the intimate connection they forge with fans. As they continue to evolve, TOLEDO is not just making music; they're inviting us into their world, promising even more exciting chapters ahead.
