History

Formation and early years (2011–2014)

In 2011, Andy Allen and Peter Negroponte formed an early instrumental version of Guerilla Toss that played a mix of free jazz and punk. Singer Kassie Carlson joined the band in 2012, replacing Allen. [5] [6] Carlson first met Guerilla Toss when her former hardcore band, Western Syndrome, performed with the group at a house show. [7] Around this time is when Guerilla Toss' members consider the band to have truly started. [5] [6]

Guerilla Toss toured extensively, nationally, and within Boston's DIY community by performing at many show houses such as Gay Gardens, where Carlson and Negroponte were both residents on separate occasions. Later that year Guerilla Toss released Jeffrey Johnson, through Feeding Tube Records. [8]

In May 2013, Guerilla Toss released an EP, GTOSS, through Tzadik Records, the record label owned by avant-garde composer John Zorn. [9] The group then released an EP later that year—Kicked Back into the Crypt, a split LP with noise rock band The Sediment Club that was co-released through Sophomore Lounge Records and Feeding Tube Records [10]

Guerilla Toss began to incorporate disco and funk elements into their sound as shown with the release of their debut LP Gay Disco through NNA Tapes in December 2013. [11] [12] In July 2014, they released their next EP, 367 Equalizer, through Infinity Cat Recordings. [13] [14]

Towards the end of 2014 the band released the EP, Smack The Brick, through NNA Tapes. [15] Guerilla Toss wrapped up the year by going on a US / Europe tour that included the fourth-to-last show at New York City warehouse venue Death By Audio with Thee Oh Sees. [16] [17]

Signing to DFA Eraser Stargazer, GT Ultra, Twisted Crystal (2015–2019)

Guerilla Toss relocated to New York City during the summer of 2015. [18]

On June 24, 2015, Guerilla Toss opened for seminal Boston post-punk band Mission Of Burma in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. [19] The band's leader, Roger Miller is a self proclaimed fan. [20]

Adding to Guerilla Toss’ growing popularity, Kris Petersen and Jonathan Galkin of DFA Records, the record label co-founded by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, signed Guerilla Toss to the label. [21] The band's first release through them was the EP Flood Dosed in October 2015, which was met with some acclaim. [22] [23] [24]

Around this time, the band began varying their setlists and jamming during their live performances in addition to encouraging tapers to come and check out their shows, citing the Grateful Dead as an inspiration. [25]

In March 2016, Guerilla Toss released their album Eraser Stargazer through DFA Records. Eraser Stargazer was recorded during the winter of 2015 in Livingston Manor, NY. [5]

The album was released in June 2016 on vinyl via Feeding Tube Records and digitally via DFA Records. [26]

In June 2017, Guerilla Toss released GT ULTRA, their second full-length album release on DFA Records. [27] The LP received positive reviews. [28] Popular YouTuber and music critic Anthony Fantano gave the album an 8/10, saying "Thanks to some clearer production, more up-front performances, and a zany new wave influence, GT ULTRA is the most I've ever enjoyed a Guerilla Toss album" [29] and included it on his "Loved List: 2017" [30]

On July 18, 2018, the band released a music video for the song "Meteorological", alongside an announcement on their official Facebook page.

Artistry

Musical style

Guerilla Toss's earlier work has been labeled as art rock, [51] no wave, [52] noise rock, [26] and punk, [3] namely for their odd time signatures and dissonant instrumentals. Throughout their DFA years, critics noted the addition of psych, [53] krautrock, new wave, [54] funk and dance music elements to the bands sound, often being compared to artists like Talking Heads, [28] The B-52's, [55] Boredoms, [56] Brian Eno, and Grace Jones. [54] [57] Carlson's vocal style has been compared to that of Lizzy Mercier Descloux, [58] Laurie Anderson, [54] and Kathleen Hanna. [59]

Influences

Early on in their career, Guerilla Toss considered no wave artists like James Chance and Lydia Lunch, experimental artists like Captain Beefheart, and avant-garde composers like György Ligeti and John Zorn, to be major influences. [60] [61] They have cited artists such as Charli XCX, [62] Andy Stott, [39] Caroline Polachek, [63] Arca, [39] Arthur Russell, and Boards Of Canada [64] as recent influences. The band dubbed the sound of Famously Alive as "Hyper Punk" [65] (a play on the genre of Hyperpop), fusing elements of pop and electronic music into their sound with a maximalist approach. [66] Carlson's older brother is singer Jonah Jenkins of Only Living Witness [67] and Milligram, [68] as well as several other Boston based underground punk and hardcore bands throughout the 90's. He currently sings in the sludge metal / crust punk band Raw Radar War. [69] She grew up watching her brother perform and has stated in several interviews that she considers him an early influence in her development as a musician. [70] [71] [72] [73] Several members of Guerilla Toss are avid fans of The Grateful Dead. [74] [75] Carlson is a DJ for WJFF Radio Catskill and curates a weekly show called Rare Pear Radio, featuring fringe music mostly by queer and female artists. [64]

Lyrical themes

Carlson's lyrics often deal with subject matter such as substance abuse and recovery, [76] [77] growing up in poverty, [78] religious fanaticism, [79] the psychedelic experience, [80] mental illness, [81] technology, climate change, [82] self motivation, [83] depression [84] and alien abduction. [85] Carlson has said she draws inspiration from multitudes of subjects including contemporary literature like that of Milan Kundera, existentialist literature like that of Hermann Hesse, and cognitive science.
