Retox
Retox twists hardcore punk into something jagged, urgent and unapologetically confrontational, channeling the restless creativity of vocalist Justin Pearson and a lineage of boundary-pushing projects. Built on caustic riffs, whiplash tempos and a volatile rhythm section, the band’s sound feels both tightly controlled and perpetually on the verge of collapse. Albums like ‘Ugly Animals’ and ‘YPLL’ capture that tension in full, pairing feral energy with sharp social commentary and a dark sense of humor. Onstage, Retox collapses the distance between band and audience, turning shows into cathartic, communal explosions that embody the band’s commitment to DIY punk ethics, fearless experimentation and an aggressively honest way of looking at the world.
