Toxic Reasons - Fashion For Fascism

Review by Marilu Davis

Fashion For Fascism by Toxic Reasons: A Raw Blast from the ‘90s Alright, let’s talk about Fashion For Fascism by Toxic Reasons. This Canadian rock beast dropped in 1990 under Lone Wolf Records, and it's got that perfect mix of punk grit and heavy metal swagger. If you’re into stuff that feels like a punch to the gut but also makes you wanna headbang till your neck hurts, this album’s for you. First off, let’s shout out “Shoot To Kill.” Man, this track hits hard right outta the gate. It’s one of those songs where the opening riff grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. The energy? Insane. Like, I remember blasting this on some old cassette player (yeah, I’m dating myself here) and just losing it. The vocals are raw as hell—no overproduced nonsense—and the lyrics have this pissed-off vibe that sticks with you. You can tell these guys weren’t trying to be radio-friendly; they were just letting loose. Honestly, if you don’t feel something when this song kicks in, check your pulse. Then there’s “Swingin’ The Hammer,” which is another banger. This one’s got this groovy, almost swaggering rhythm that sneaks up on you. It’s not as in-your-face as “Shoot To Kill,” but damn does it pack a punch once it gets going. There’s this part where the guitar solo just takes off—it’s chaotic in the best way possible. Feels like the band said, “Screw it, let’s just go wild,” and it totally works. Every time I hear it, I picture some dingy club full of people moshing their brains out. Classic. The rest of the tracks keep the momentum rolling too. Songs like “Shut You Down” and “Wildin’” bring that same untamed energy, while cuts like “Just Another Day” show a bit more variety without losing the edge. And hey, props to them for throwing in a tune called “Anything For Money”—because who hasn’t felt that kind of desperation at some point? What’s cool about Fashion For Fascism is how unapologetically real it feels. No shiny production tricks or fake drama—just straight-up rock ‘n’ roll with attitude to spare. It’s the kind of album that reminds you why you fell in love with music in the first place. Plus, coming out of Canada in the early ‘90s? That’s pretty badass. They weren’t chasing trends—they were doing their own thing. So yeah, if you dig punk and metal mashed together with zero chill, give this album a spin. Just don’t blame me if your neighbors start complaining. Weirdly enough, listening to it now kinda makes me wonder what Toxic Reasons would sound like today. Would they still be screaming about hammers and shooting stuff? Or would they trade all that for acoustic guitars and dad jokes? Who knows. But hey, maybe that’s a good thing—we’ve got Fashion For Fascism exactly how it is, loud and unforgettable.

There's a reason why you see Poison Idea's Myrtle Tickner wearing TR's Dedications t-shirt in one of PI's videos. I wish I still had my copy of Dedications and the shirt. I'd love to get my hands on this. I never knew it existed until recently after stumbling on your upload.
