Toxic Reasons are back but this time they have amped up the speed shredding to their thrash punk. Which means they sound like Black Flag meets any number of speed metal bands.
It sounds like it was recorded for $1.25 and that’s a shame because the edge is almost 80s underground radio friendly. Lord knows the lead solos are actually not bad, for some reason it reminds me a bit of Burning Brides.
Toxic Reasons wear their influences on their sleeves, they want to be The Damned and the Clash and the Sex Pistols and we all know that moment has passed but on Bullets for You they find the melody that I felt was lacking in the past. In fact, toss some ska in there and they could be Rancid.
So much better than I expected (dreaded) it would be.
