Toxic Reasons

Independence lp

Power, power, power, holy smokes. One of their songs describes them perfectly: "Noise Boys". This vinyl has sounds dripping out of the grooves it's unbelievable. Eleven super rockin' beauties and one reggae (which I don't care for) sorry guys, I'm being honest. Along with the frisbee there's a real keen lyric "book" (two covers outside, pictures and lyrics inside) pretty slick huh? I think these guys explain themselves fine on the back of the album cover with one line reading "With an uncompromising approach they attack racism, war and apathy." Super, everything here. Rates 10/10.

Recommended by me, Ha ha! All this still ain't enough for me, and I'm hopin' some more Toxic Reasons tunes will slide through my greasy palms real soon.
