In Episode 234, we sat down with vocalist Travis Antoniello and drummer James Slattery of Wilkes-Barre chaotic metalcore/mathcore band Toothless. They recently released their debut full-length album “Past Futures,” so we talked about each track on the record and its themes of “history repeating, disillusionment, self-destruction, manipulation, and the psychological weight of navigating a world buried in misinformation;” refining their complex sound; recording outside the area at Silver Bullet Studios and working with Silent Pendulum Records; their first three EPs and creating music together for over a decade; the local metal scene; members of the band also playing in Sleepsculptor; Travis donating his long hair to Wigs for Kids; upcoming shows at Poppy’s Tavern in Hatfield, Barbed Wire Fest at Bonk’s Bar in Philadelphia, and The V-Spot in Scranton on Friday, June 26 with No Fight No Victory, Bedroom Floor, and When Hell Ascends Tonight; and more.
