TONTO release single ‘CHARLENE’
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 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 release of 2024, ‘Liverpool’, Tonto are upping the ante once again and are coming at us thick and fast with the bangers with their second release of the year with the upbeat groove of ‘Charlene’.
‘Charlene’ is a happy little sing along ditty of a tune with its early Beatle-esque beats and melodies mixed with Kieran’s raw and powerful vocals. It's got classic written all over it putting us in mind of a clever mix of The Coral and The View.
‘Charlene’ was written by Kieran Fisher and was recorded with Mark Morrow in Leith and is the second single to be released from TONTO from their upcoming 5 track EP which is due to be released later this year.
