Band known for inciting moshing and booty dancing in equal measure. Formed in Boston, Guerilla Toss is currently based in both New York state and the city. Their unique sound blends elements of punk, noise rock, and experimental pop to create a high-energy sonic experience.
Inspired by artists such as *The I.L.Y's*, *Lightning Bolt*, and *Tropical Fuck Storm*, Guerilla Toss has gained a reputation for their electrifying live performances and genre-defying music. With influences ranging from *Zach Hill* to *Deerhoof*, their sound is characterized by frenetic rhythms, distorted guitars, and catchy melodies.
Joining the ranks of other boundary-pushing bands like *Melt-Banana* and *Hella*, Guerilla Toss continues to push the boundaries of what is considered conventional music. With a discography that includes albums like "GT Ultra" and "Twisted Crystal", they have garnered a dedicated fanbase who appreciate their fearless approach to creating art.

Now available on vinyl for the first time. From the 2017 press release: DFA Records and Bokeh Versions have teamed up for a joint release - a reworking of the freaky post-punk stylings of Guerilla Toss by Athens, Greece-based musician and producer Dimitris Papadatos, a.k.a. Jay Glass Dubs.

The EP comes on the heels of the former’s latest record, GT Ultra, which was released in June 2017. Jay Glass Dubs vs Guerilla Toss turns the hyper-bouncy pop and deeper, darker tracks of GT Ultra into four, stripped-down dub ruminations, each one spacier and weirder than the last.

The frenetic, zany tempos of songs like Skull Pop and Can I Get The Real Stuff? are transformed into slow, viscous existential crises that focus in on Kassie Carlson’s echoing vocals. Jay Glass Dubs works headphone magic with reverberating percussion and slinky basslines, as always keeping one foot in dub’s past but both eyes on its horizon.

Artist in demand and Bokeh-affiliate Patrick Savile’s artwork eloquently articulates the ethos of the EP – speedy, psychedelic textures are blurred and made malleable, gracefully reflecting the sounds of original album through a hazy prism. If you know Bokeh, you know Jay Glass Dubs.

This Guerilla Toss soundclash hints at new sonic territory that he’s been quietly exploring in email threads with Bokeh Edwards. The trip-hop stylings and mechanical dub futurism foreshadow his debut 12” which was released at the tail end of 2017. For fans of The Slits, Skull Disco, Dennis Bovell, On-U Sound, Leslie Winer.
