Southern California punk quartet Retox recently wrapped their tour supporting Japanese noise legends Melt Banana, and will be hitting the road again for a string of California dates in mid February in support of their recently released debut record, Ugly Animals. Clocking in at just under thirteen minutes, Ugly Animals is a slab of classic punk rock mixed with a bit of guitar driven post hardcore, and is fueled by everything that is wrong with society today. The bands sound is even more frantic live (as is evidenced from the live photos below from their recent San Francisco show, so be sure to check them out at one of the shows listed below, and purchase a copy of Ugly Animals over at Ipecac Recordings.
