Toxic Lab Rats are intoxicating the world


Hailing from Sweden, Toxic Lab Rats are a punk rock band whose new album, "Intoxicated" is ready to infest the world by storm.

Their new album is now on Spectra Records, which features hits "Because I Love You": they won't bang their head against the wall any more. A rockin' blitz of a love song in true Toxic Lab Rat style. "I Don't Know, I Don't Care" in which there are no apologies for who they are, what they are or how they are, either like it or lump it. "I Had Enough of You" is a perfect song of trying to figure out who can be trusted once you're rich and famous. There may be friends who crawl out of the woodwork but the Toxic Lab Rats may send them slinking back. This rock tune will let you know who your true friends are. "Lucy's Got a Bomb" is fast, quick, in a hurry and unpredictable just like the Toxic Lab Rats.

Band members, Toxic Joe, B Jay, Chris Rat and Tommie Leech are influenced by the sounds of US Bombs, Social Distortion and Dropkick Murphy's. Their new album "Intoxicated" is loaded with 15 tracks of the best alternative punk rock that has been recorded in the past 20 years. Toxic Lab Rats are ready to show the world what they are made of.

Their new album is available on: http://spectrarecords.com
You can also download songs, ringtones and buy CDs and shirts.
You can download their music on iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, emusic, Amazon and more.
