"There's a certain uneasiness to the Toadies," says Vaden Todd Lewis. The Texas rock band is raw and commanding. The Toadies ask us to "imagine an ebony sphere with a corona that radiates impossibly darker, and a brilliant circular sliver of light around that. It's nebulous, but strangely distinct—and, shall we say incorrect." Or, as Lewis says, "wrong." When the Toadies come to Tucson, we say, "all right!" This Ticket Tuesday, we're sending someone plus one to see the Toadies and Helmet perform at 8 p.m. on Thursday, October 18 at The Rialto Theater in Tucson.

The Toadies have officially reconvened, recording No Deliverance. Lewis says the band has gone for a "bare knuckle" sound, amping up the psychotic stomp heard on Rubberneck and Hell Below on the grinding, relentless title track as well as the seething, death-of-a-romance gem So Long Lovey Eyes and the towering, sludgy Man of Stone. The upshot is a taut, exhilarating listen that is quintessentially Toadies.

Tell us what you love about the Toadies in the comments for a chance to see them in concert this Thursday night. We'll use random.org to pick a winner even if we secretly feel someone else has a more compelling answer. Winners will be notified by e-mail Wednesday mornings or Wednesday sometime or maybe even Thursday, but you have only until Wednesday morning to comment. Comments are moderated and may take some time to appear. Please do not resubmit your comments -- one is plenty.

Tickets for Toadies and Helmet can be purchased at all Bookmans locations or at The Rialto Box Office. You can follow The Rialto on Twitter.
