You gotta love Toxic Narcotic’s dedication to the ’core. After nearly sixteen years, they continue to be active in the punk scene, both locally and internationally. Even if I haven’t adored every single release that their Rodent Popsicle label has put out, I freely concede that their hit vs. miss ratio is extraordinarily high, and this DVD easily falls under the “hit” column. Recorded live at a show celebrating their fifteenth anniversary, all the stops were pulled and they cranked out one fine document of this band at their finest, with multiple cameras, 5.1 surround sound, a spirited performance and some wild ass fans going bonkers. You get twenty-two songs here, with most of their hits represented (although “Beer in the Shower” is noticeably and annoyingly absent), plus a couple of bonus videos and some footage of their fans waiting to get in. While it could be argued that few hardcore bands deserve such a fuss these days, there is no question that Toxic Narcotic is one of those bands. –Jimmy Alvarado (Rodent Popsicle, PO Box 1143, Allston, MA 02134)
