ReeToxA’s new single, “Jody,” is a bone-deep ballad that showcases the band’s softer, more tender side without losing an ounce of their energy. This one’s a poignant reflection on love, friendship, and the bittersweet ache of reflection, with the authenticity that only comes from real-life experience.

Dubbed a standout track from their debut album “Pines Salad,” “Jody” has a history that fuels its emotional weight. The song was originally penned back in 2001 by the lead singer, Jason, and has stubbornly remained a personal favourite ever since. It’s easy to hear why. The track started its life as a ballad about the love he felt for Jody, but it never quite clicked until the relationship met its end. That transformation is what gives the song its slay edge—it evolved from a simple love note into a pretty break-up song, with the complexity of matured emotions and hard-earned perspective. This is the stuff classic rock ballads are made of: real stories, real pain, real sentiment.

If you’re looking for a track with soul, a rock ballad that actually has some rock in its backbone, “Jody” is your next listen. It’s available on all platforms and as a physical copy via Bandcamp. This is the kind of vulnerable, punch-packing tune that absolutely deserves to go viral. ReeToxA has not only secured a stellar spot on their debut record but has also delivered a timeless piece.
