The Tonks have been around since late 2005, formed by Dunc and Tom at university. They love a bit of a laugh on stage (normally aided by alcohol) and play wherever they can (now that university is over, this should soon be a LOT of places, watch this space!)
"The Tonks were a fun band with superb songs. These were sort of commercial punk ala Green Day. Uptempo and original songs, good singer and sometimes pushing towards emo. Good set and good charisma." - tubeclub
They have a 2 demos available, the first being 7 songs under the collective title of 'Barely Begun'. The second is a 4 song soundgasm known as 'Sounds Like A Plan'. They're pretty pleased with it. Easiest place to get any of these would be at a gig, or if you give them an e-mail address they'll send it to you zip style! Such lovely boys.
