On The Road… with Retox and Whores


retox and whores

Retox is on the road touring behind their just released killer album Beneath California (Three. One. G Records), destroying stages in droves and playing to their rabid fans in sweaty packed clubs. Teaming up with the manic noise psychos in Whores, this has surely been one of the best bills of the early year so far. On a recent stop in Cambridge MA, the band played The Middle East Nightclub. On this night they were joined by I Am Become Death and Fucking Invincible (not pictured) as well. Special thanks to Meg Loyal of Meg Loyal Photography for this photo set from the tour.

The band transition so seamlessly between heavier slower, Doom fuelled tracks to a blistering Punk rush of chaos, and to such a high standard, you’re left wondering what the hell took them so long to get down to writing some new music. You listen to this closely with their previous albums and it is clear that they have not really missed a beat.Continue reading
