Hailing from Washington, DC, Detox Retox formed in late 2007. They played their first show at WMUC-FM in College Park, MD, broadcasting their energetic style of danceable rock over the airwaves. Since then they have performed to packed houses at venues throughout the DC area, including the Rock and Roll Hotel, Velvet Lounge, The Red and the Black, and numerous others. They've also taken their show on the road, performing in cities throughout the mid-Atlantic region.
The band's released its debut EP, Hard to Swallow, in September 2008. "Groovebox", the first single off the disc, received airplay on local radio station DC101 and the band's debut video for "Evil Disco" appeared on Fuse TV On Demand nationwide. In July 2009, they appeared on the Kevin Says Stage of the Vans Warped Tour. They are currently working on new studio material and putting together a busy schedule of shows for the remainder of summer and fall.

Praise for Hard to Swallow:
"Hailing from our nation’s capital, Detox Retox is suggestive of that point in time when New Wave and Punk experimented with the whole chocolate/peanut butter balance. But the group manages to modern up the proceedings with a bracing splash of now. Riffs, grooves, rhythms and a sharply defined sense of humor contribute to Detox Retox’s fascinating flow.
Dig: Electric Six guided by Gang of Four and The Tubes and Bloc Party and Modest Mouse and voices. "- City Beat, Cincinnati
"With humorous, cheeky lyrics and a ridiculously tight rhythm section Detox Retox can't fail in winning over even the most jaded indie fan." - Delusions of Adequacy
"Detox Retox gets you on your feet with an edge that’s razor sharp, backed by a rhythm that’s irresistibly moving and impossible to stop dancing to." - Consequence of Sound
"DC’s Detox Retox have an EP called Hard To Swallow that throws sharp riffs and some urgently danceable bass-heavy disco post-punk around that reminds me a little of Arctic Monkeys." - Can You See the Sunset
"[...]listening to DR is like having greasy sweaty sex with a gorgeous grungy smoker... really good sex. " - Music She Blogged
