Unleashing Hardcore Crossover
Toxic Madness, from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, has carved out their high-octane brand of Hardcore/Punk within the vibrant DFW music scene. Since their early days, when Diogenes "DJ" Negron-Forsythe released their debut album, Live Laugh Love, as a junior in high school.
The band has evolved, weathering lineup changes while maintaining their signature sound and explosive live performances. They've shared the stage with national touring acts and are currently working on their highly anticipated follow-up album SLEEP with producer Eric Delegard (Bowling for Soup), who also helmed Live Laugh Love Album. Toxic Madness is ready to unleash their next chapter of hardcore punk rock fury.
Toxic Madness are in the process of their new Album Sleep. ®

"Toxic Madness took the stage with their shirts on, but if you’ve seen them before you know that will quickly change. All that fabric is too risky. You might get snagged on something when you’re flying up near the ceiling as DJ often does" Christopher Durbin REF
"Insane cover of Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer" Juan Govea REF
"DJ’s crowd work is excellent and he WILL find you. He routinely flies beyond the monitors dragging the mic cord behind him to join the pit, or if everyone’s a little sleepy, start one. “I’m Hardcore” is always a crowd pleaser and crowd killer" Christopher Durbin REF
