Having recently returned from a West Coast tour with Tomahawk, pissed-off thrash punk quartet Retox announced the release of their new album, YPLL, via Epitaph Records on May 7 (preorder).
Vice plugged the release with a video for "Congratulations, You Are Good Enough," saying:
“These days, it's getting harder and harder to find music that'll bash your fucking brains in. Hearing something that just gushes out pure emotion feels almost too good to be true.”

“YPLL takes the ugly powder-keg promises of the band's impressive debut and ratchets up the proceedings exponentially, quickly given all who fall under its spell ample evidence as to why friends and contemporaries who have played with Public Image Ltd., Nine Inch Nails, Killing Joke, Man Is The Bastard, Swing Kids, and The VSS count themselves among the bands supporters and comrades.
"Otis 'O' Barthoulameu (Fluf, Olivelawn, [and, most recently, Octa#Grape]) coined a phrase for what RETOX have summoned forth: ‘New Confrontation.’”
