Borderline Toxic have made their long awaited return, releasing latest single Sir Satan.
Having announced themselves to the world in summer 2022 through the electric single, Blood Sucking Beauty Queen,Borderline Toxic have once again showcased their rock credentials. The band’s desire to explore emotive, personal lyricism paired with a raucous background of scuzzy riffs is exhibited in full.
Featuring another flamboyantly crafted video, which premiered on Metal Insider, Borderline Toxic continue to illustrate why their sound has struck a chord with press both at home and abroad.
Having formed during the pandemic, the band’s shared love of rock and metal quickly developed into a haven of creativity.
The mix of classic rock soundscapes delivered with a twist of modernity gained support from Spotify playlisters as well as New Noise Magazine, She Makes Music, Fortitude Magazine and R+, culminating in BBC Radio 1 Introducing Rock Show airplay.
Sir Satan delves into themes about our own character, our flaws, our strengths, our relationships and how these individual traits are influenced by both positive and negative experiences that have shaped us. Hypnotic front-woman Kerry Glass delivers the line, “…nothing is A-Ok, said Sir Satan…” with stinging aplomb.
Kerry is telling the listener that our demon is always in the back of our mind causing doubt and, ultimately, sabotaging the healthy relationships we create. Kerry’s own personal rebuke to the paternal issues she has faced growing up are laced throughout the song and are cocooned by filthy, face melting guitar riffs, biting drum beats and a grooving baseline.
As well as Kerry Glass, Borderline Toxic are comprised of former Amy Winehouse and Chaka Khan drummer Pete Ray Biggin, Henrik Fossum (guitar) and Jack Rowe (bass). They have performed around the UK selling out the likes of Camden’s Dublin Castle as well as playing the Camden Rocks All-Dayer.
Sir Satan is out now.
