Intoxo brought together four experienced musicians from Wellington&#8217;s tight-knit DIY and underground scene. Vocalist Selina and bassist Kitt had recently played together in the short-lived group <strong>Hair Brains<\/strong>, with Kitt also known from earlier bands like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/03\/ayn-randy\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"74\">Ayn Randy<\/a><\/strong> and <strong>Ritalin<\/strong>. Guitarist Sam and drummer Ben brought the &#8216;shoeless recession-core&#8217; vibe to the band with over a decade in the Wellington d-beat outfit <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/07\/rogernomix\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"425\">Rogernomix<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-1&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" id=\"accordion-item-1\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Read more<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-1\" data-wp-bind--hidden=\"state.isHidden\" data-wp-on--beforematch=\"actions.handleBeforeMatch\" id=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Intoxo made their live debut at <strong>Nevermind the Punkfests<\/strong>, held at Newtown Sports Bar during Labour Weekend 2022, quickly establishing themselves in the local punk circuit with their raw, fast-paced sound rooted in d-beat punk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">The band played a handful of shows over the next year, including some DIY shows: the Berhampore warehouse and Princess Bay carpark inside a trailer. Their final performance came at <strong>Dankfest<\/strong> at The Crown in August 2023. Shortly after, the band split when Selina moved overseas and Kitt relocated to Dunedin, bringing the project to an end after just over a year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr
