Guerilla Toss
Neon no-wave that turned genuinely poppy without losing any of the nervous energy — DIY-scene veterans reborn as day-glo dance-punk evangelists.
Guerilla Toss formed around 2010 in the Boston-area DIY and noise scene before relocating to New York, built around vocalist Kassie Carlson and guitarist Arian Shafiee. The early records were abrasive and confrontational, closer to no wave and noise rock, with lurching rhythms and shouted, free-associative vocals.
Over successive releases the band's sound shifted toward something more melodic and rhythmic, drawing on mutant disco, post-punk and synth-driven art pop while keeping the jittery playing and unusual song structures. The group has released music through labels including DFA and Sub Pop. Live, Guerilla Toss tends toward bright colour, heavy percussion and a strong dance pulse.
