Melbourne-based rocker ReeToxA, the alter ego of Jason McKee, steps into the spotlight with "Pissing Contest," his fiery debut album under the name ''Pines Sala''. This 14-track release is a sonic time capsule that spans nearly three decades of songwriting, blending the anguish of ‘90s grunge with the sharp hooks of modern pop-rock.
From the first fuzz-soaked riff to the last melodic punch, "Pines Salat" exudes authenticity. McKee, who began writing songs in 1995 at the age of 15, was inspired by Kurt Cobain’s raw vulnerability and Taylor Swift’s lyrical precision. He has finally opened his archive, and the results are both cathartic and impactful. Tracks like “Sugar to the Vein” and “Corduroy Lies” capture the emotional tension reminiscent of Pearl Jam, while others showcase an Olivia Rodrigo-esque sharpness.
