The Tonics

About Me

The Tonics began life back in 2002 (i think) hailing from a small cold fishing village in the north east of scotland. The fivesome play dark rooted indie taking influence from old and new. Their heavy sounds are gleamed over with softer melodies and intertwinded guitars.

The Tonics have most recently supported signed acts including, THE BISHOPS, THE TIGERPICKS, MYRIAD CREATURES, THE RIPPS & THE LAW!

The Tonics are currently playing venues far and wide if you’re interested in putting us on a bill / working with us (producers etc) or using our songs in anyway just give us a message, we r a nice bunch of lads :D

We are currently on the look for any managers, labels, distributors, producers and promoters interested in working with us.

OH and keyboard/synth player based in the aberdeen area would be nice.
