Scottish Band Tonto Rush to Liverpool With New Indie Banger!
If infectious riffs and catchy tunes to sing your heart out to are your thing then TONTO is the band your ears have been craving!
Kieran Fisher or the 'Feesh' as he is known has been kicking at the door of the big time for a while now supporting artists including The Snuts and The View’s Kyle Falconer on a number of dates. It's not everyone who gets a personal invitation from Gerry Cinnamon to open for him but this is just what happened!
Seeking a bigger sound, Kieran recruited Lyle Finlay on lead guitar, Lewis Mcgrandles on bass and Jason Strachan on drums and TONTO was formed .
Both the band’s debut single ‘Down the Hatch’ and follow-up ‘Insider’ were named This Feeling/Gigslutz Track of the Day and received airplay in both the UK and USA whilst recent drops ‘Madame Medusa’ and ‘Yellow and Blues’ have got music industry insiders pretty excited.
On the live front TONTO have supported the likes of The Skinner Brothers, The Gulps and Rianne Downey and the band are now back and raring to go with their first single of 2024 the just over 2 ½ minutes of high octane, frenzied drumming and electrifying guitars of ‘Liverpool’.
‘Liverpool’ from start to finish will keep you on your toes. It's straight out the gates taking no prisoners as it launches right into how it means to go on, fast and furious! With indie oozing lyrics depicting tales of Liverpool you're taken on a journey through its famous streets. With sudden breaks throughout, this track really engages and keeps your attention giving you a little mosh-pit breather, ready to kick it all off again and with the chanting outro of ‘It's a long, long way to Liverpool’, we can see this track going down an absolute storm when performed live.
The band have said of the new track:-
“The track was written as Kieran often travels to Liverpool and fell in love with the city to the point he almost moved there. The tracks are all about learning from mistakes and coming out the other side in a positive way.”
‘Liverpool’ was written by Kieran Fisher and was recorded with Mark Morrow in Leith.
The single is the first track to be released from TONTO from their upcoming 5 track EP which is due to be released later this year.
