Off-Site: TOXIC REASONS, "Ghost Town" video, et al., at YouTube...

There are a lot of other TOXICs videos there too.

And here's a link to a write-up on the "Ghost Town" 7" that includes the story of how TOXIC REASONS got together by none other than Ed Pittman himself.

By the way, by request, I recently re-upped the download links for FRANKENSTEIN'S KIND and the WWSU 4-PLAY.

TOXIC REASONS on the web...

More music directly on this blog tomorrow, but for now here are some links with downloads for TOXIC REASONS audio:

• "War Hero" 7" (1980) at Killed by Death Records
  
• Charred Remains compilation cassette (1981) (featuring "Somebody Help Me") at Killed by Death Records - this comp was released in Xenia, but it looks like TOXIC REASONS is the only band from the Miami Valley on it
  
• Selections from the Process of Elimination comp (1981) (featuring "Riot Squad") at Good Music for Bad, Bad Times - get the cover scan here, but get the music from 7-inch punk (below)
  
• Selections from the Kill by Remote Control LP (1984) at Good Music for Bad, Bad Times
  
• "God Bless America" 7" (1984) at 7-inch Punk
  
• Process of Elimination comp (1981) at 7-inch punk - get the music here because this site has all the tracks (GoodBadMusic is missing two), but get the cover scan at GoodBadMusic because 7-inch Punk puts a watermark on theirs (which you'll only see after downloading)
  
• "Ghost Town" 7" (1981) at Something I Learned Today - you'll also find links here to a site where you can buy the Independence LP (which is still in print) and other sites where you can view picture sleeves from TOXIC REASONS and some other Ohio bands of that time

ALERT: TOXIC REASONS, "War Hero" (7" vinyl, 1980) at Killed by Death

Killed by Death has posted a rip of the "War Hero" 7" by TOXIC REASONS, the band that put Dayton on the indie rock map.

Go get it!

Don't forget to get the images as well. There's a JPEG of a flyer for a TOXIC REASONS show with SNARE AND THE IDIOTS (there's a blast from the past) at Lousiville's now defunct Jockey Club (probably the only place within 70 miles of Dayton to see good punk rock before 1984 or so).

Also try sifting through the archives on the KBD main site for other stuff (not from Dayton, but good).
