Release Notes:
The ice-cream cone melting on the beach that adorns the cover fits
neatly with The Toniks' sun-kissed pop-rock, a sound that sits
somewhere between The Feeling and Snow Patrol. Only whilst the group
has an admirable sheen and an undeniable knack for melody, the songs
lack the panache of their luminaries. By its own admission the group
doesn't strive to craft anything other than melodic pop songs and their
untitled EP certainly fits the bill.toniks_l
Showcasing this penchant for melody, the release is resplendent with
hooks but unfortunately possesses little staying-power. The group comes
across as inoffensive, middle of the road and is ultimately
forgettable. If anything more transparent than accessible, The Toniks
have a knack of crafting well organized yet uninteresting tunes.
