Toxic Madness

BIO
Unleashing Hardcore Crossover

Toxic Madness is a hardcore punk band emerging from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, delivering high-octane energy and explosive live performances. Founded by Diogenes “DJ” Negron-Forsythe, the band first made waves when DJ independently released their debut album, Live Laugh Love, while still a junior in high school.

Since then, Toxic Madness has evolved through lineup changes while staying true to their raw, relentless sound. They have shared the stage with national touring acts and earned a reputation for bringing an unfiltered intensity to every show.

Now reunited with producer Eric Delegard (Bowling for Soup) — who helmed their debut — Toxic Madness is preparing to unleash SLEEP, their highly anticipated new album and next chapter of hardcore punk fury.

"Toxic Madness took the stage with their shirts on, but if you’ve seen them before you know that will quickly change. All that fabric is too risky. You might get snagged on something when you’re flying up near the ceiling as DJ often does" Christopher Durbin REF

"DJ’s crowd work is excellent and he WILL find you. He routinely flies beyond the monitors dragging the mic cord behind him to join the pit, or if everyone’s a little sleepy, start one. “I’m Hardcore” is always a crowd pleaser and crowd killer" Christopher Durbin REF
