WTF Records is more than proud to have signed the legendary TOXIC YOUTH from Milano, Italy.
Get ready to board Toxic Airlines for a flight filled with energizing songs about life, music, blood, sweat, tears, love, brotherhood and fun! All served with rolling basslines, guitar hooks, tight drums and vocals that make you want to sing a long, think, scream it out loud and drink a beer with old and new friends!!
Originally formed in 1990, TOXIC YOUTH dominated the mid to late 90s with their uncompromising hardcore sounds. A rough and ready four-piece of Christian, Max, Ale, and Novo, the band first broke ground in ’93 when they released their first demo ‘TOXIC YOUTH’ on cassette (1993). With eight tracks of fierce hardcore sounds and visceral thrash influences into the public consciousness. It was the spark that would set fire to the underground scene. Soon after the release, the band were carving their own path through the Italian music scene, earning their stripes and gaining recognition for their intense and uncompromising live shows. After touring and supporting bands such as RKL, DOA, Beastie Boys, Franky Hi-Nrg, the band went into the studio and recorded their debut album ‘Real Attitudes… Not Words!’ released on CD (1996). A now-legendary DIY release.
While TOXIC YOUTH continued to play shows and tour throughout the late-90s and 2000s, it wasn’t until they met a new drummer in 2018 that they really started working on a new release.
The band picked things up exactly where they left off. ‘BACK TO YOU-TH’ pulls no punches and proves beyond any doubt that the band haven’t lost their knack for aggressive, breakneck riffs and relentless punk anthemics, with a Toxic Twist. Its time to do it again!!

I met Kris Manning at Punk Rock Holiday 2018 and we became buddies and again in 2019 and he is just a great guy and his energy and effort he does for the scene is just inspiring. He runs a small label Sound Speed Records with awesome bands and this compilation is important and dedicated to all of us who grew up in the nineties listening to endless compilations discovering new bands.

These 15 songs feature 11 different bands from the label and most of them are known already, like fantastic Chaser, CF98 from Poland or awesome Krang from Czech, For I Am from Belgium or Holland´ s Drunktank, but also Apathy Cycle and The Dead Krazukies or Flag On Fire and The Grim are sure to become your fan favorites. This is superb compilation containing skatepunk, melodic punk rock and hardcore for everyone of us fans and those who wish to discover new bands.

(review) Don`t sleep – turn the tide (mission two entertainment)

458156

Punk rock scene legend Dave Smalley (DYS, All, Down By Law, Dag Nasty…) is back forming this new band called Don`t Sleep with members of The Commercials and Junction. They just released new record with Mission Two Entertainment.

The new record contains 12 songs of fierce melodic punk rock with harsh edge, personal lyrics that anyone can relate to, beautiful melodies and Smalley sounds better and more convincing than ever and his voice did not falter for a note with years, like good wine hehe. This is mainly mid tempo punk rock but also there are some faster hardcore rapid fire outbursts like fantastic Abandoned Us. This band in fact sounds like an amalgamation of all Smalley˙s previous bands and efforts, so you just can not go wrong if you love melodic punk and you are looking for a great band to listen to over and over again. Good one. Recommended songs: We Remain, Abandoned Us, True North.
