Angel dust are a hardcore punk rock band from Maryland, Baltimore. We chose ‘Toxic Boombox’ as our example as we found it one of the more interesting songs. For this song we plan to get our friend Paul Chave from Grassic a local Lincoln band to do vocals and guitar as we feel that we will be able to replicate this sound better with him.
Here is a review of the album and specifically Will Yip’s production that we sourced from Pitchfork
“Will Yip’s production tends to be divisive in punk circles, but there’s no denying his ability to make bands in this realm sound like they could’ve snuck into a 1995 alt-rock station if things broke right; the stuttering vocals from “Ready 2 Receive U” and “Upside Down” imagine if Cloud Nothings followed their pop-punk muse and worked with Rob Cavallo rather than Steve Albini. In other words, they’re about halfway between *Pinkerton *and Smash.”
Rob Cavallo worked on albums like ‘Dookie’ by greenday and ‘Dear you’ by Jawbreaker. These two albums are good reference points for production and highlights elements of 1990s productions styles that would be relevant in our work.
