  The Tontons - Atlas
Download   |  
A reckless blend of rock and psychedelic blues has given birth to a new sound created by The Tontons. No band evokes more magnetism and moxie with their music emphasizing the talents of members Tom Nguyen, Adam Martinez, Justin Martinez, and Asli Omar. We join them on their quest to translate the sullen sea and stars submerged in deep progressions, blistering blues riffs, and bulletproof beats; painted in compelling melodies by a voice bursting with soulful intensity. Set forth to record their findings while staying true to their improvisational spirit, The Tontons have released their first EP on Esthetic Noise Records entitled, "Sea and Stars." These hypnotic chain of songs will render you powerless to the wrath of The Tontons!
