25.01.2022 Happy birthday!! Today is the 3rd birthday of our second single ‘Circling’. Released in 2017 we embarked on the ‘Circling Australia’ tour, playing 11 shows all over the country in support of our most successful song to date. To celebrate this occasion we have several fun things for everyone who enjoyed the song and that tour. ... For the drummers out there, we have a live drum play through of ‘Circling’ from the first show on the tour at the Rockstar Bar in Frankston. You can find it on our YouTube channel or click this link https://youtu.be/WZEyUpL1hys Second is a whole live set from our headline show at The Evelyn Hotel. Recorded on the 11th of August 2017, it was one of the most fun shows on the tour and the ‘between song’ banter alone is reason to give it a listen. Available exclusively on our Spotify from tomorrow Finally we have a big sale on all our merch!! All ‘Circling’ t shirts will be 50% off and all other Merch 25% off.

22.01.2022 Happy new year ladies and germs. With 2020 in the rear view, the four of us in Toxicon are now focused solely on the release of new music as well as more drum covers, full band covers and original play throughs. First cab off the rank for this year is a new drum cover of Tom’s favourite Foo Fighters song ‘Bridge Burning’. ... Remember to head to the YouTube page and SUBSCRIBE to the channel as it’s the best way to keep track of all things Toxicon going forward. Facebook has simply made it too hard to reach all of you who have seen us before and like this page, so please head to the YouTube and follow us there for more consistent updates and content :-) We all hope to get back out on the road this year and to release the new music we’ve been working on for all to hear. Let’s start it off with a bang (this is bad drum humour). Adam, Jacob, Tom and Wayne. https://youtu.be/P3DKdY7pWFk
21.01.2022 New Merch!! (Kinda) So it’s been a few years now since we toured around and we haven’t played many shows of late so most won’t have seen our most recent shirt design. Drawn up by the amazing Tristan Tait Illustrations, we call it ‘Heavy Petting Zoo’ and it celebrates Australia’s famous deadly wildlife in a fittingly metal way. ... We have these available NOW in the orange, blue and grey scheme in both shirts and thanks to the warmer weather, singlets as well! Send in a photo of you wearing your ‘Petting Zoo’ Shirt and Tom will mail you out a patch for free! We also have the same design in 2 other color schemes. Check the comments and let us know which one is your favorite and with enough interest we might throw that into production next. Click the link or head to our shop tab on Facebook for all our designs, music and more! https://www.toxicon.com.au/merch The Toxicon Boys
20.01.2022 This weeks TOXICOVER is a classic from everyone’s favourite band at some point in their life, Blink 182. I don’t know a drummer that hasn’t been influenced by Travis Barker cause the dude absolutely rips. I still steal things from him for Toxicon’s music. Check it out and LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the channel. Comment on the video or on this post with suggestions of other covers for me to do :-) Tom... https://youtu.be/3OLESx6vDQU
20.01.2022 It's Christmas time again! It's time to be nice to the people you can't stand all year. I thought I'd do something special for this cover, and as it's Christmas time, I broke out my fancy red suit and fake beard (that's better than my real one) and covered the most metal christmas song I've ever heard. Big thanks to Tom Ballinger for getting me into this when i was 16. The combination of metal Sum 41 and Jack Black is truly fantastic. ... Please 'LIKE' the video and 'SUBSCRIBE' to our channel for more fun videos and covers. The link to the full video is in the comments section
20.01.2022 Here’s a sneaky snippet from the album. Currently in mix down. The talented Chris Themelco is doing a great job of bringing this monster to life!
19.01.2022 Happy birthday to the many faced Swiss devil Adam Esposti. Everyone shoot him birthday messages! He’s 25 today! : Electrum Photography, Haljin Photography, Sakura Allison.
18.01.2022 Forte Magazine loving that you’re loving our base model band shirts, why thank you Hoping to have some more news for you guys soon btw
18.01.2022 Another fortnight another drum cover. No idea how long I can keep these up but I’ll keep going till I can’t go no more This week is ‘Letterbomb’ by Green day. The best song off their best album (fight me on it, I dare you) this shits on an album full of A+ songs and it wasn’t even a major single. This was probably the most fun to play so far and because of that the easiest video to put together. ... For those of you wondering ‘But you guys are a metal band, what’s with all this Punk rock shit?’ Don’t worry the metal is coming, and the kits are getting bigger Next video is a cover of the best Christmas song ever written. If you can guess what it is I’ll send you a free singlet cause Jesus is it hot right now. LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the channel cause it’s actually important and helps us out quite a bit :-) https://youtu.be/jFJYz9dC4Rk
12.01.2022 Today marks the birthday of everyone’s viking bearded, Mohawk sporting bass player, Jacobi. He turns 26 today. All hail the filth tornado. ... (Enjoy the picture of him with hair )
11.01.2022 Last night, Saturday 21st of March, marks the date of Toxicon’s first official show. We played along side Conjurer, Refraction and Hollow World at Revolver. We then backed it up by booking our first show the night after at our Last Summer Sunday Sesh 6 years of tours, somewhere around a hundred shows, and countless memories we’ve had together on the road and were still going strong, with the music the best it’s ever been. Below are a few pictures from over the years, from ...our first ‘show’ playing at a biker bar to crowds at home or far away. Hears to many more years together as a family. Adam, Jacob, Paul, Tom and Wayne.

Tom has decked out the shed and starting with his favourite band, is filming the best songs from all his drumming influences, everything from the angstiest punk rock to the heaviest metal and prog. ...

04.01.2022 Toxicon getting a rep
04.01.2022 Evening everyone, We have some sad and unfortunate news today as our guitarist Paul Jones has made the hard decision to leave Toxicon. From 2012 to 2014, Paul was the catalyst in bringing the 5 of us together to become Toxicon and through the adventures we’ve had on the road and on the stage we have all developed life long friendships.... Below is Pauly’s statement, Hey all, I’m taking a step away from Toxicon for the foreseeable future. The boys have been 100% supportive of my decision and I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for that. I also want to thank everyone I’ve had the fortune to meet and hang with at shows over the years. Travelling to completely new places and meeting people who I felt like I’d known all my life was definitely an unforseen highlight. Much love and stay safe Paul. Pauls personality and creative spirit are evident in everything we have done thus far, and will be present in everything we choose to do moving forward. Toxicon is a family and should he ever decide to return, his position is always waiting for him. Below are pictures from over the years from our first photo shoot to important moments in the bands career so far. We love you Pauly.
02.01.2022 We are going to play a little game called Brent Hinds or Jacob Maloney ??!
