The Fire and Reason vs. The Toxic Avenger: Distortion Begets Distortion

The bottom line is The Fire and Reason rock. I’m not sure I’ve heard anyone since The Mooney Suzuki who rock anywhere near as hard as these guys. And what’s more, they add a touch of the industrial to their already hectic sound which might make them my favorite band of recent times. I absolutely love the warmth of the distortion in their leads and Bella’s voice is like a more guttural, No Doubt era Gwen Stefani.
So, what do you do when you’ve got all this going for you? Why its simple. You go out and get an equally hectic distortion laiden, french gentleman, The Toxic Avenger, to take your tune and wind it so tight that, when unleashed, it destroys every dancefloor within 39 miles of the speakers. Toxie managed to keep enough of the original to maintain its hectic energy while adding his own dose of edits and chops to push the tune over the edge, a handsome feat for any remixer. This remix is fantastic.

If you want more of The Fire and Reason head over to iTunes or CDBaby and pick up their self-titled, five track EP. And, according to their myspace, they’re back in the studio again so I’m sure a whole nother dose of high energy rock and roll is due from them very soon.
