Retox to release Ugly Animals on Ipecac

Retox, a blistering four-piece who made their live debut mere months ago, join Ipecac’s roster with the band’s debut album, Ugly Animals, set for an August release on Three One G/Ipecac Recordings.
 
The band members are Justin Pearson (The Locust, All Leather, Some Girls, Swing Kids), Gabe Serbian (The Locust, Cattle Decapitation, Holy Molar, Rats Eyes), Michael Crain (Festival of Dead Deer) and Thor Dickey.
 
“The Ipecac team is over the moon about working with Retox,” said label co-owner Greg Werckman. “These are world class musicians that push the envelope with everything they do.  We think they are a perfect fit with our eclectic roster, fitting comfortably with other hardworking, original artists like the Melvins and ISIS.”
 
The album was recorded in March with Manny Nieto and Retox co-producing the all analog release. The band recently released a self-titled EP and completed a UK tour where Midland Rocks succinctly described Retox as “… a punch in our stagnant, mediocre, celebrity-obsessed culture’s face. Their sound is like a brick wall crashing into a dump truck. In less than thirty minutes, Retox delivered an intense performance that left the crowd in shock and awe.”
 
The vinyl version of Ugly Animals will feature etched vinyl and include a download code. North American tour dates are forthcoming. Retox’s next performance is June 25 at the Boulevard Cafe in Los Angeles.
