Happy New Year!

To all that read the random ramblings of a drummer!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Here's to a brand new start in many different ways.

I am pleased to say that Toxic Fed are back on track now after playing an all important début gig at the Diamond on the 30th December, as a 4 piece with new lead singer: Nick Whitcroft! We were EXTREMELY pleased with the outcome as a result of a lot more planning into making this MASSIVE change work better than before!

We are back in the studio now, turning demo's into songs for the new album, as well as new gear and dates to follow.
Dead excited for what is being worked on. By having Jake as TF's sole guitarist and dropping the tuning by half a step we have gained a much more modern, heavier sound. Looking forward to sharing it all with you.

The Drummer has landed

Welcome

As newest "Blogger" for Toxic Fed as of NOW, I plan to bring you all the good, the bad and the ugly news as it happens. Reviews, gig guides, behind the scenes videos, latest works, and photos. This Hard drive is filled with footage and information too good to not share with all you guys out there!

We have been extremely busy keeping this show on the road along with management and agents behind the scenes! Listen out for more updates that will come very very soon, follow and find us all on Facebook.
A drummers life is not just beer, cartoons and hitting things you know!

So lets keep this intro short and sweet.

On Behalf of Jake, George, Alex and myself.
