Description

Caught up in the vortex of erratic cross-country tours, using a pen to dig for a not-so self-evident truth, chasing an unheard sound and rubbing a match against a brick wall looking for a spark, Toney Rocks is a nomadic gypsy who has crossed the great barrier into the realms of a chaotic maelstrom where his obsession has taken over all reason. His writing style is unapologetically poignant and vulnerable. Pure and honest; covering personal stories of love, defeat and the bounce back to triumph. Post pandemic, Toney Rocks is back to the road picking up where he left off. His latest album, 02.24.20, is out now featuring the cinematic 'Tomorrows Western', "Lies We Tell" and "While". The short album opens with a trippy sequence of psychedelic synthesizer pads that melts into the signature line of the song; a gutsy speaker shaking baritone guitar and slamming southwestern country groove. Lyrically "Lies We Tell" speaks of arriving at a point in one’s life, where they look around and see nothing that remotely resembles what they had set out to achieve so many years ago. It’s a moment of reckoning with some hard truths. The album’s second and final song, “While”, was written as a letter to a friend who would routinely allow people to push her around.
