Bio:
Active since 1990, TOXIC YOUTH are a hardcore/crossover band from Milan, Italy, delivering raw energy and thrash-infused hardcore. Founded by Cristian (guitar) and Max (drums), the line-up solidified with Ale on vocals and Novo on bass, shaping a sound rooted in speed, aggression, and high-voltage live shows.

After their 1993 self-titled demo—recorded at Jungle Sound Studio with Fabio Magistrali (Ritmo Tribale, Afterhours)—the band quickly gained momentum in the underground, performing with RKL, D.O.A., Beastie Boys, and Franky Hi-Nrg. Their debut album Real Attitudes, Not Words!! (1995) became a cult release, selling over 1,000 copies and earning them spots alongside Extrema, Insidia, Lacuna Coil, Sadist, and appearances at major festivals, including Beach Bum Festival with Faith No More and Tiamat.

Although they disbanded in 2007, TOXIC YOUTH reunited in 2018 with new drummer Hicham (Calibro 9, Cattiva Condotta) and returned stronger than ever, supporting Sick Of It All, Siberian Meat Grinder, Raw Power, and more. Signing with WTF Records, they released Back To You-th in 2020 (reissued in 2023 with bonus material) and followed up with a 12” split with Odpisani (Walkin’ Free Towards A Better Tomorrow).

Now more determined than ever, TOXIC YOUTH continue to carry their hardcore spirit with anthems of rebellion, resilience, and unity—still standing tall after more than 30 years in the scene.

For fans of: RKL, Sick Of It All, D.R.I., Raw Power, Siberian Meat Grinder
