ReeToxA just dropped a dose of power with “Jody,” a track lifted from their hotly anticipated debut album, Pines Salad.
The idea of lead singer Jason, “Jody”, has a backstory that’s as real as it gets. This song has been burning a hole in Jason’s pocket since 2001. It’s been a personal favourite of his for over two decades, and that long gestation period shows in every second of the recording. The track initially began as a ballad dedicated to his love for Jody, but life, as it so often does, threw a curveball. The relationship ended, and the song transformed into something more potent: a reflective break-up anthem that shows the complex fallout of love and fractured friendship. It’s this authentic evolution that gives “Jody” its undeniable weight.
“Jody” stands out in ReeToxA’s repertoire precisely because it showcases their softer, more tender side without sacrificing an ounce of their rock skill. It proves that true rock and roll isn’t just about noise and aggression; it’s about passion, story, and the sheer force of genuine feeling. This is the kind of track that has “earworm” potential, the sort of song you play on repeat, finding a new layer of meaning with each listen.
Available across all digital platforms and as a physical copy on Bandcamp, “Jody” is an experience. It’s a bold one from ReeToxA, a band that clearly has the guts and the heart to go the distance. Get this on your playlist now.
