Toxic Shock

Toxic Shock is a thrash, hardcore punk band from Antwerp (Belgium). Started rehearsing in 2010. After a long search for a suitable singer they found a perfect match in Wally. The first Toxic Shock release was a demotape which saw the light of day in 2011. An EP followed a year later. In 2013 Reflections Records put out the Daily Demons album. Since that the band did a split 7″ with Iron Reagan, a Record Store Day 7″ and worked with Antwerp hip hop masters Team Panini. The first show the fivesome played was with Black Breath in Antwerp. After that first one, more shows in Belgium, England, Germany, France and Holland followed. They supported bands like Testament, Iron Reagan, Black Breath, Suicidal Tendencies, Slapshot, D.R.I., Negative Approach, Poison Idea, Agnostic Front, Power Trip, Phil Anselmo & the Illegals… And hit the road with Ceremony and Eagulls (England), Cro-Mags (Germany) and Reproach (France). Their last album was recorded with iconic producer Flemming Rasmussen – who worked with Metallica on their classic albums – in Denmark. The latest Toxic Shock LP TWENTYLASTCENTURY came out in November 2017 on This Charming Man Records. In 2019 they released a split tape with fellow Belgian ragers Reproach. That tape came out on cd in Japan in 2020. And a year later Loner Cult Records and Here and Now Records released the thing on a 10”. The third press of the split is on its way.
