1st things 1st…This is made possible by our friends at the righteous label Very Gun Records. Let me just say this…TOONS are the 1st Band that I have ever listened to that reminds me of one of my favorite Bands..The Subsonics. Thay have that lo-fi cool ass Lou Reed vibe throughout these tunes. The first time I listened to Grumpy Beach, I hit repeat immediately, no hesitation, just love that fuzz reverb sound. So I would strongly recommended you listen to TOONS. These guys are going on my list of new kick ass bands for 2014. LOVE IT!!!. (don’t know if anyone has ever written a song about grocery shopping)
