Punk and grunge have always been genres built on honesty, messy, imperfect, loud honesty, and Reetoxa taps straight into that legacy with his explosive track “Alcohol. The opening song of his latest release, “Alcohol,” wastes no time throwing listeners into a headspin of distorted guitars, gritty vocals, and unapologetic storytelling. It’s a heart-starter by design, the kind of chaotic anthem that shakes the walls before the rest of the album even begins.
Based on a true story and a brutally relatable one, “Alcohol” captures the aftermath of a night where everything goes wrong and somehow becomes music-worthy. Fueled by frustration and a drunken haze, Reetoxa writes from the perspective of a man who can only talk to girls after a few beers, only to wake up in the outer suburbs with no money, no phone, no sense of direction, and no idea why life insists on being this weird. It’s punk rock poetry through a lens of self-deprecating humor and raw human vulnerability.
The track fuses old-school punk attitude with modern grit: pounding drums, fuzzed-out guitar riffs, and a vocal performance that feels halfway between a confession and a shout across a smoky dive bar. It’s also surprisingly danceable. Despite being the heaviest track on the album, “Alcohol” swings with enough groove to pull fans into its chaotic orbit. This duality is exactly what makes it stand out: rough edges packaged with infectious energy, rebellion paired with rhythm.
Reetoxa, known for blending grunge sensibilities with contemporary punk flair, approaches songwriting with straightforward honesty. No metaphors hiding pain. No over-polished production glossing over the real story. Just lived experience turned loud. That authenticity is the heartbeat of his music. “Alcohol” doesn’t aim for perfection but aims for truth, adrenaline, and the kind of catharsis only punk can deliver.
Listeners can expect a track that’s fun, frantic, and fueled by the awkward, impulsive decisions we pretend not to remember. It’s a reminder that the worst nights often make the best stories and sometimes the best songs. As an opener, “Alcohol” sets the tone for an album driven by energy, personality, and pure punk attitude. For fans of grunge revival, raw storytelling, and high-voltage chaos, Reetoxa’s “Alcohol” is the kind of track that hits exactly where it needs to.
