Saw them MANY times in Omaha! Absolutely the real deal and one of the little known greats of those days. Kill by remote control is one of my favorite albums ever.
@@skinheadyouth66 JUST released in the UK (but available worldwide) Kill by remote control, Within these walls, Bullets for you, in the house of god, no peace in our time & a sampler CD w/ 2 NEW tunes “God Bless America?” They available thru “Plastichead”
There’s a 40yr (OMG I’m old) anniversary edition (out now) on “BEER CITY RECORDS” the artwork is how the LP was originally intended, there’s the photo/lyric book & liner notes from all that were involved at the time
My review on Allmusic written January 23, 2018. 5 Stars Independence is a great punk record from Ohio's Toxic Reasons. Released on Risky Records in 1982, Independence was definitely one of the better punk-hardcore releases in the early '80's. The LP jumps right out of the gate with "Mercenary", "Drunk And Disorderly" and "War Hero". A highly charged LP from a great band.
Decades ago, I went to a show at a Sokol hall with these guys. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The entire fucking crowd was jumping in time. It was the peripheral nibbling at the edges of political agenda.
@@JJPtoxic I'm doing pretty well. You? I think I remember where my sister and I met you and Bruce. 2+2? You came up to our mother's apartment...Chinese food...? I distinctly recall Lisa insisting that I take the ride to return you guys because I had to work later that morning. AND, the guy I was seeing stole the record insert to "Independence." Asshole. In any event, I need to see what you've all been up to! I hope life has treated you well. If I still spoke to Lisa, I know she'd get a kick out of this unexpected connect.
None of my business but what does Ed P do or not do these days. Punk will always be relevant in the current state of affairs? Peace and Punk Rock For Ever!
Yes Motörhead was an influence but just one of many. Lemmy DID have a great gravely voice but he didn’t own exclusive rights to that style of belting out the vocals
Hey, I took my son to a Green Day show & believe it or not.... Those guys fucken rocked. Truly excellent showmanship, they looked like they were having a blast. That’s what it’s all about (to me anyway) It’s not their fault that millions of fuckers bought their stuff & made them commercially successful

Saw them back in 1984 at the AJZ Bielefeld. This was my first US Hardcore Show. A really excellent band and great show. This is the real stuff.
They are playing Oakland soon.
me too in italian leg of the tour 1984
AJZ truly was my favorite place to play!
@@mikecarter8880 that was a blast. I hope we get to come out and play again
@@JJPtoxic spoken like a lifer. Props for still being a down mofo!
Saw them in Cleveland as a teen and then later in like `86 or `87 @The Farm in S.F., CA. and live they kickass!👍👍
One of my very favourite lesser known US bands along with the Offenders from Texas & Code of Honor.
Wish i could find some originals from Code Of Honour!
@@assurdo8888 the split with sick pleasure was recently reissued. It had been on my want-list for a long time
@@skategimp7992 thanks for the info!
Endless Struggle LP is easily in the top 10
We were REALLY lucky when the Toxics moved to the Bay Area (1982?). We saw them many times at The On Broadway. GREAT BAND!
I saw them at the Farm! They were epic live...
Saw them MANY times in Omaha! Absolutely the real deal and one of the little known greats of those days. Kill by remote control is one of my favorite albums ever.
We wanted to do an album (back in the day) called “Big in Omaha” cuz you guys ALWAYS treated us great
Bullets for you is my favorite after this lp

I remember Sokol hall…
That was a BLAST
War Hero imo perfect
A true band... so much creative power...

Ed Pittman epic
It's kinda punk. Kinda thrash. Totally cool.
From the Reagan era, still actual
motorhead vocals
Yes Motörhead was an influence but just one of many. Lemmy DID have a great gravely voice but he didn’t own exclusive rights to that style of belting out the vocals
@@JJPtoxic I love this
@@JJPtoxic this is a great great album
Special forages berklt

Good band. Jesus saves
Moses invests
Green Day brought me here. LOL.
I HATE Greenday
Hey,
I took my son to a Green Day show & believe it or not....

God gives walnuts to those without teeth
That intro sounds like Iron Cross - You're a rebel
But unfortunately iron cross “you’re a rebel” came out 17 years AFTER this.
So I reckon ya gotta say, THEY sound like US
🤪
You’re a rebel came out in 1983 on the hated and proud ep.
They we’re playing the DC area in 1980 and Sab lived at the Dischord house.
