Back in 2018, the Santa Ana, California punk band Tozcos released their debut LP Sue​ñ​os Deceptivos. The band’s name is Spanish for “clumsy,” and their lyrics are all in Spanish. They sound like some real turn-of-the-’80s California punk, like one of the artier bands from The Decline Of Western Civilization. They’re fast and feverish, but not in the same way that present-day hardcore is. Instead, it’s pretty easy to imagine them playing on the same bill as the Cramps and X.

Later this month, Toxcos will follow Sue​ñ​os Deceptivos with a new album called Infernal, and they’ve just shared the early tracks “Presos” and “Siglo Infernal.” (Spanish for “Prisoners” and “Infernal Century,” respectively.) Both songs absolutely whip ass, and I can’t possibly say enough good things about the “Presos” video, which has been made, with exacting detail, to look like a local-TV broadcast from decades ago. Check out both songs below.
