About Me


toneControl are a Cork based 5 piece band. Although they are hard to define, their sound draws from both rock and electronica influences with drum & bass beats present in force. toneControl serve up an energetic and electric live set. Many stereos have been terminally damaged trying to recreate their sound and it's suggested you should just save yourself the trouble and come see them.
