(The) Coffee Song / October

Dual Single - September 22nd, 2023

(The) Coffee Song is the newest little ditty written by Emerson Harris, his triumphant return to the spotlight after 2022’s Oxycontin. Forged from the fires of capitalistic despair, (The) Coffee Song follows an increasingly manic pencil pusher on the brink of a breakdown, only to be soothed by the sweet, sweet comfort of their morning java! How relatable! With the honor of being the band’s very first song released under Hopeless Records, (The) Coffee Song proves to be once and for all the true genesis of The Toxhards.

October is one of our oldest songs, dating back to the dark ages (2019). Written by Alan Macchiarolo, the song has transformed over the course of half a decade from an 9 minute slow jam to the 4 minute heartfelt ballad it is today. A journey of love and loss, October will make you feel, and perhaps even cry. Slowly but surely coming to fruition over the years, October is a deeply personal track to Alan and the band that can absolutely be deemed the true genesis of The Toxhards.

Doombop!

Single - February 24th, 2023

Still riding high from their viral sensation, Ængus, The Toxhards strike again while the iron is hot with Doombop! A tune born and raised on the Internet, Doombop!’s inception began when Alan auditioned the first verse on an acoustic guitar to our TikTok audience, who overwhelmingly approved. The band quickly got in the studio and finished the song, posting update snippets along the way and working the song into their live shows. So while Doombop! might just now be coming out, we feel like it’s been with us this whole time in our hearts and on our phones. Signifying a marked change in their songwriting approach, some have begun considering Doombop! as the true genesis of The Toxhards.

Ængus, The
Prize-Winning Hog

Single - September 2nd, 2022

Taking a break from traditional music, The Toxhards take a swing at a new sound of divine, prophetic psalms spiritually transmitted directly to their minds from the new God! Ængus, The Prize-Winning Hog is less of a song and more of a way of life, spelling out to the human race the might, grace, and all-knowing omnipotence of the Gospel of Ængus. Come along with us on a journey of metal-funk-polka-prog and bask in the light of your new savior! Through the Hog, we shall all know peace, beauty, mercy, and security! As the first studio track since the band’s collective baptism into the Church of the Hog, washed free of sin, cleansed of all false gods before, theologians will undoubtedly view this renaissance as the true genesis of the Toxhards!

Out Of The City / Bye Bye Baby

Dual Single - June 17th, 2022

The story of “Out Of The City” / “Bye Bye Baby” begins with creative madman and frequent Toxhard collaborator, Skye Braband. Originating in Braband’s seminal theatrical work, Richard Nixon’s Big Adventure, “Bye Bye Baby” started out as “Bye Bye Dicky”, a piece sung by the resurrected corpses of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Napoleon Bonaparte murdering the titular commander-in-chief, before getting the Toxhard treatment. A year later, Braband approached the newly formed band asking them to write the lead track for his debut feature film, Chompy & The Girls. With lyrics from Braband and a quick recording session, “Out Of The City” was born. Now, after 4 years of playing the two as a tandem toe-tapper and numerous recorded versions, they’ve reached their final and most complete iteration in this 2022 release. Undeniably a bastion of the modern Toxhard sound, “Out Of The City” / “Bye Bye Baby” is simultaneously rooted in the bedrock of pre-Toxhard history, establishing this iconic one-two punch as the unquestionable true genesis of The Toxhards.

OxyContin

Single - February 25th, 2022

Fresh off their smash hit “How Lucky Am I?”, “OxyContin” is the highly-anticipated sophomore single for The Toxhards. Offering chill vibes and poignant lyrics, this track delves into the cycles of self-destruction that substance abuse can lead to, set to a hypnotic lofi groove. Produced fully autonomously in-house, with music and mix by Emerson (additional mixing by Braden Davies), lyrics by Alan and Emerson, and mastered by frequent collaborator/honorary Toxhard Sean Magee of Abbey Road Studios, this tune cements the band’s status as a powerhouse of talent and technical skill. Proving they’re much more than a one-hit wonder fluke, music historians have already begun categorizing “OxyContin” as the true genesis of the Toxhards.

How Lucky Am I?

Single - October 29th, 2021

Finally clawing their way out of their live discography, “How Lucky Am I?” breaks ground as The Toxhards first studio-recorded single.

Taking you on a 3-minute journey of acoustic, punk, and psychedelic rock, culminating in a euphoric, soaring final chorus, this debut tune undoubtedly marks the true genesis of The Toxhards.
