on vinyl for the first time!

After gigging relentlessly throughout the nineties and two-thousands, Tody Castillo unveiled his self-titled debut, Tody Castillo, in 2005. It translated the horsepower of “getting in the van and playing shows” into fourteen tunes. The album earned Tody Houston Press‘ Best Unsigned Act award in 2005 (along with nominations for Song of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, and Best Rock/Pop). The album was also the top-selling release at Cactus Music and Video in 2005, outselling even the likes of Coldplay and was the store’s best-selling self-released, local album for many years following. 

“In retrospect, this album deals with the coming of age of a young person into adulthood. There is BIG love, and BIG loss throughout this album. The emotional extremes felt by a person who’s feeling these things for the first time.  Finding true love, losing innocence, and BIG dreams.” - Tody Castillo

Strolling Bones Records will be reissuing Tody’s self-titled album on vinyl for the first time ever June 21, 2024.
