Scottish band Tonto release 'Alone' – the best song since The Verve's heyday
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 also recently supported the likes of The Skinner Brothers, The Gulps and Rianne Downey.
Fresh on the heels of the success of their first single releases of 2024, ‘Liverpool’ and ‘Charlene’ TONTO are upping the ante once again and are coming at us thick and fast with the bangers with their hat-trick release of the year with the powerfully emotive track of ‘Alone’.
‘Alone’ is a strikingly beautiful melody with a haunting undercurrent. It's right up there with the likes of The Verve and ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony” and ‘The Drugs Don’t Work’ in terms of skilled musicianship and memorable melodies.
Talking of skilled musicianship. Kieran Fisher is most certainly proving his worth as he is right now as I send you this press release out at La Sierra Casa in Spain, Kyle Falconer’s songwriting camp after he won a scholarship competition run by The View frontman.
‘Alone’ was written by Kieran Fisher and was recorded with Mark Morrow in Leith and is the third single to be released from TONTO from their upcoming 5 track EP ‘Hope, Faith, Carnage’ which is due to be released later this year.
