“ALCOHOL” by ReeToxA

ReeToxA’s latest single “Alcohol” doesn’t ease the listener in—it throws them straight into the thick of a night gone wrong and a riff that refuses to let go. Rather than creeping forward or building slowly, the track comes crashing out with a rough-edged punk-grunge energy that feels instantly alive. Released across all major platforms, it sets the pace for the album with a messy, loud, and unmistakably human honesty. Where some opening tracks try to guide you gently into a record, “Alcohol” simply punches the door open and dares you to keep up. It’s gritty, unfiltered, and built for people who appreciate a little chaos in their music.

The inspiration behind “Alcohol” comes from a night many would want to forget—a one-night stand that ended in a long walk home with no phone, no money, and no dignity left to protect. That miserable stumble through the outer suburbs becomes the backbone of the song’s frantic heartbeat. At its emotional core is a man fed up with being “only the last ask after a few beers,” trapped in the cycle of late-night decisions and morning-after regret. The lyrics carry the sting of frustration but also the clarity that often comes only after things fall apart. ReeToxA channels that bite into something loud, fun, and shamelessly self-aware. The track’s blend of traditional punk ferocity with a modern, grimy edge keeps it relatable, and listeners can expect not just aggression but a surprising amount of humour threaded beneath the distortion.

What makes “Alcohol” stand out from the rest of the album is its strange, irresistible balance: it’s the heaviest track on the record, yet still one you can dance to. The drums pound forward like a heartbeat trying to outrun regret, the guitars snarl without suffocating the groove, and the vocals land somewhere between a confession and a battle cry. It’s rare for a track to feel both reckless and controlled, but ReeToxA walks that tightrope with swagger. “Alcohol” transforms a bad night into a blistering, energetic anthem—one that feels tailor-made for crowded rooms, sticky floors, and anyone who’s ever looked back at a dumb decision and laughed anyway. As an album opener, it sets the tone perfectly; as a single, it stands proudly on its own, loud and unapologetically alive.
