"Just as Johann Cruyff pioneered the concept of total football, TONA are exponents of total rock. Every instrument attacks, with vocals used rhythmically to intensify the hit. From the outset there's a claustrophobic, machine-like quality to the music, making you feel you're locked in for the duration."
Coming from Novi Sad, the town in sleepy northern Serbia's province of Vojvodina, TONA started playing loud in summer 2005. Right from the start, this 5-piece aimed at creating versatile and original sound, combining the best of rock, metal and punk music of the last decades.
Anything that can be combined into a powerful sonic blast is put into the band's cauldron and cast into a solid piece of rock, making the unique sound of TONA. The band just released their first full-lenght named 1000. The album is released for SKC NS, regional government sponsored label that aims to promote alternative culture in Serbia.
"...THIS IS A BEAST OF AN ALBUM, quite clearly one of those that fits into the category of music that has to be played fucking loud to be properly appreciated. Just as Johann Cruyff pioneered the concept of total football, TONA are exponents of TOTAL ROCK. Every instrument attacks, with vocals used rhythmically to intensify the hit.
Yes, of course it's a macho thing (they're Serbian, for fuck's sake!), a slightly masochistic kick for those who love a bit of visceral aural punishment. And what kind of indie-pop wanker doesn't? HIGHLY RECOMENDED!" (Frothing Spleen)
"1000 IS FULL of heavy guitars, thick bass, superb drumming, and on top of it all, great mid-range vocals, and even one of the best harmonica performances in a hard rock song since Robert Plant. The production quality is great, everything fits into its place PERFECTLY."(dmonzel.com)
"These guys may be coming from Serbia, but that does not stop them from being a truly great band, which, with the right feedback, could become as big as the next one. The band will be loved by many for its musical broadness I certainly hope they will retain the diverse approach which only adds to their value. I think it is ONE OF THIS YEAR..S BEST DEBUTS." (Artrock.com)
"1000 is an album that would get the full, 100% Carducci seal of approval. The record is filled with soulful melodies that beautifully synchronize with the driving rhythms. It get the No Funeral seal of you-have-no-taste-if-you-don't-dig-this approval. America is a country full of rich weirdoes. Can't one of them pony up the dough to bring Tona to the states? 1000 is highly recommended for the living, the dead and those stuck in purgatory. Really, you need to download this. It's the only way to make up for that whole Bill Clinton thing."(No Funeral webzine)

Što reče onaj čovjek što mu je mLogo propao glas, "O, kako ste, ljudi moji?" :) Ja, evo, zaposlen po prvi put u životu, sve sa otvorenim tekućim računom, shodno tome, uplašen blago i dezorijentisan. :) Osnovna škola, imam IV, V, VI i VIII razrede, predajem djeci engleski i primjećujem da se svaki dan sve manje žalim na posao... prvi dan sam kukao jedno 3 sata, pa drugi dan 2 sata i 55 minuta, treći dan je to bilo 2 sata i 54 minuta, ali, blagi napredak je sveprisutan... eh, kud me život odvede, da radim to što radim i da ko zna koliko dana ne primjetim da mi je usljed raznih rotacija sa profil svirača nestala Vaša numera... pa da mi to vratimo. :) Inače, ima li šta pametno sem masne hrane u sklopu priprema za zimsku olimpijadu "naše vrste"? :)
"Melnik City", our new album will be released very soon... There's a foretaste on our Space... Please listen to "The Great Civil War"... If you like this one, come back later for more... Thanks, Melnik
