Soundwaves: The Toxic AVENGER–Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Music by Brooke Blair & Will Blair
Lakeshore Records releases The Toxic
Avenger — Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, featuring a wildly eclectic score and original songs by composers Brooke and Will Blair. In this unhinged reimagining of Lloyd Kaufman’s 1984 cult classic, the Blair Brothers capture the chaos, the silliness and the triumphant heart of the original Troma trilogy.
The guitar-drenched orchestral score careens from surfy crime-jazz and occult rock to Bossa Nova, classic superhero motifs, and an unhinged take on Mussorgsky’s “Night on Bald Mountain” (featured in the original Toxic Avenger) — complete with burps, farts, and the Prague Philharmonic. The pair also deliver original songs, including the nu-rap/slop-rock hit “(We Are) Crazy and Dangerous” from on-screen goth villains The Killer Nutz, their B-side “My Baby is an Axe,” and the classic Doo Wop ode to young lovers “The Good Things” by fictional ’50s group The Whoopsie Dews.

Soundwaves: Watchmen Chapter I & II Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Tim Kelly from Lakeshore Records
Lakeshore Records announces the release
of Watchmen Chapter I & II—Original Motion Picture Soundtrack composed by Tim Kelly, arriving on all major digital music platforms today, August 22, 2025. The score accompanies Warner Bros. Animation’s two-part feature films directed and produced by Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under the Red Hood, Young Justice), which reimagines the groundbreaking Watchmen graphic novel through a meticulously faithful yet sonically bold lens.
Vietti’s Watchmen adaptation captures the essence of the legendary 1986 comic created by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins, while pushing the medium into new territory. In keeping with this unique vision, Tim Kelly’s score boldly diverges from the orchestral superhero norm, embracing the analog synth textures and atmospheric soundscapes reminiscent of late ’70s and ’80s film scores.
