Long Island’s own TOXIN is ready to take the world by storm. From catchy hard-rock anthems to infectious ballads, the boys of TOXIN are taking aim with a vengeance and a fully loaded arsenal of their brand of Rock and Roll. In just a few short years, these 18-20 year olds went from playing small, local shows to sold out headlining shows, to performing in some of the largest Rock and Metal Festivals in the US and Europe. TOXIN is the youngest band ever to grace the stage at Germany's Bang-Your-Head Festival. Opening for such headliners as Bret Michaels and Twisted Sister, Toxin is determined to bring Rock back to the masses and show their generation what Rock and Roll is all about.
TOXIN is Jason Kloos, Joe Gigante, Mat Brandon, Ross Medico and Brian Maldonado

“These days it’s not always easy to find an opener who is an original band that has enough solid material to entertain a crowd of die hard fans waiting for the headliner. TOXIN has proven numerous times that they can keep the party going for my fans without relying on covers. That’s very rare these days, these kids have something!” - Bret Michaels

“I just had the pleasure of witnessing one of rock’s new, up and coming bands, TOXIN! OMG! Are they gonna drive the girls wild! Front man Jason Kloos is a cross between a hot Jim Morrison looking, Mick Jagger strutting rockstar, and very easy on the eyes individual. They are high energy, with flying V guitarist Ross Medico, Edgar Winter style keyboardist Matt Hulse, and a killer rhythm section by Joey Gigante and Brian Maldonado. This band will have no trouble taking off, quick, fast, and in a hurry! Watch out girlfriends! No time to detox! Here comes TOXIN! Rock on, dudes!” – Lita Ford

"TOXIN is a kick ass band. They represent everything I love about Rock N Roll - Big Guitars, Great vocal melodies, pounding drums and bass! Along with their sound, the band has a killer dirty Rock N Roll image which I totally dig....I think chicks from all over the world will be lining up to hang with the mighty Toxin boys. In other words...They have the total package!
TOXIN ROCKS!" - Steve Brown, Trixter

for the underdog. Especially when they fuckin’ rock!” – Steve West, Danger Danger
