Toys That Kill have shared a new video and song, “Fighter Date,” offering a sharp and energized preview of their upcoming album ‘Triple Threat,’ due out February 20th via Recess Records and premiered by New Noise Magazine. The track leans into everything the band does best, snapping hooks into place with urgency and melody, then driving them home with grit and momentum. The video keeps pace, matching the song’s punch with a sense of movement that feels restless and direct, never ornamental, always purposeful.
Rooted in San Pedro, the port city where punk history and everyday survival blur together, Toys That Kill channel decades of lived experience into songs built from simple parts that hit hard and stick. Fronted by Todd Congelliere, whose earlier work with F.Y.P. laid the foundation for this band’s voice, Toys That Kill fuse melody, speed, and emotional weight into a sound that feels immediate and human. “Fighter Date” moves with a crackling charge, guitars snapping, drums landing heavy, and choruses opening wide enough to shout along to, a reminder that urgency and heart still make the loudest statement.
