Toilet Rats’ Black Cats sees review by Toilet Ov Hell

Toilet Ov Hell reviewed Toilet Rats’ Black Cats album. Here’s what the review said:

"Toilet Rats is back to prove they’ve mastered every prefix you could put in front of the word “punk.” Their trademark lo-fi synth skeleton effortlessly slips into the skin suits of bratty melodic hardcore (“Military Dad,” “Nuclear Reactor Meltdown”), pop- (“Utopia”), post- (“Darkness,” “Shimmy,” “Asteroid,” all of which seem to take cues from The Cure), and of course horror (“Bloodsuckers,” “Vampirella,” although the latter is more Ramones than Misfits). Still, while often domineered by one particular genre tag, most songs are also somehow all of them, and some escape the punk confines entirely, such as when “I Was a Teenage Exorcist” transplants the 80s Satanic Panic into the 60s. This kind of gleeful abandon results in an album that strikes a balance between surprising variation and sincerity on one side and comforting simplicity and silliness on the other."
