Record Of Dis Week: Tozcos - Infernal 12"
So for Record of Disweek I was thinking I was going to go with The Chisel or the Groucho Marxist Records compilation both very fine records but released late last year I only got around to Tozcos - Infernal recently and it has been a record I just keep coming back to so I said I had to highlight it for this week, as it is the record of the week for me. Tozcos last release was their With their last release way back in 2018 i guess they haven't been on my radar so I guess that's why I am late to the party on this. Coming from southern california citing local influences of TSOL and Adolescents there is UK82 undercurrent that creates an energy or electricity as maybe the cover alludes to that is just infectious.

PRE-ORDER AN SLUA / RED BRICKS / THE UNCOUTH / RECKLESS UPSTARTS "INTERCONTINENTAL OI!" 12"
I thought a little section of what we have been listening to or a playlist would expose even more music to you. But I didn't want to do a Spotify playlist as Spotify doesn't help punk. So I am just going to highlight a few things I have been listening to this week and its not all crust punk and Oi!. Sometimes stuff is in distro other times it aint if it is in distro I will link to the record and their should be an embedded player their for you to listen or you can buy the record.
