If you’ve been craving a jolt to the system, the kind that smells of stale beer and reverberates with poor life choices, then strap the hell in. ReeToxA’s latest single, “Alcohol,” is the face-melting opener you need. From the first crashing chord, it’s clear this track is the album’s heart starter, a pure shot of Punk Rock and Grunge adrenaline.
The beauty of “Alcohol” lies in its glorious, grimy contradiction. It’s the heaviest track on the upcoming record, a monstrous wall of sound that somehow still has a beat you can move to. This is the sonic equivalent of a mosh pit that’s too fun to leave.
And what’s the story? It’s a narrative as old as time but filtered through a lens of pure, contemporary grit. “Alcohol” is inspired by a one-night stand that goes spectacularly, hilariously wrong. We’re talking about the specific, soul-crushing frustration of a dude who can only talk to girls after a few beers, only to wake up in the outer suburbs—stranded, phoneless, and penniless. ReeToxA isn’t singing about rockstar problems; they’re chronicling the walk of shame that becomes a damn pilgrimage. This is the soundtrack to that brutal moment of clarity when the buzz wears off and you’re left with nothing but the long, shitty walk home and your own regrets.
ReeToxA has managed to fuse the rebellious spirit of classic punk with the dirty, down-tuned reality of modern life. “Alcohol” is a fun track, but it’s fun in the way that blowing off. This is the track you play at full volume when the night has gone off the rails, because it’s the only thing that understands. Find it on all platforms, and get ready to have your damn heart started.
