An overlooked rock album, an underrated 90s band – check em out
TONTO TONTO came and went without much fanfare, but their debut MIRROR FOR THE BLAME is really a solid collection of acoustic and power rock tracks, sorta reminiscent of THE BLACK CROWES meets EXTREME. Single “”MILES AWAY”” should have been a hit, but MTV wouldn’t play the video and the label (Victory) didn’t have a big marketing budget to push the band – alas, rockin’ rootsy hook-filled tracks like CHANGING ME and REAL TODAY never saw the light of day on radio. NICK FOWLER has a classic rock voice – trust me, if you see this pick it up today!!

—————————————————————————————————-

Through most of the songs, they build them up with an acoustic guitar, before Wattenberg lead guitar cuts through like a hot knife on the solos. The opener ‘Mirror’ and the fantastic ‘Last Night’ are some good examples. Their first single ‘Miles Away’ tries to go for jugular, in much the same way that Extreme did ‘More Than Words’, though the execution is not as immediate. If you like the Riverdogs, then chances are, you’ll love these guys.

——————————————————————————————-

I thought that this CD was cool…suprised to find that Tony Harnell from TNT sings backup vocals. Mirror, Last Night and Miles Away are my favorites

——————————————————————————————-

How can you not like this album? Mirror is a great song, Home Is A Face You Know will break your heart, Real Today and If It Rains All Day are awesome. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up!

——————————————————————————————-

I really like the vocals. Reminds me of a much less melodic, almost unplugged version of Loud and Clear, mostly because the vocals remind me of Jess Harnell. Excellent AOR! One of my fave!

——————————————————————————————-

Brilliant tape! Miles away superb. Keep listening to it – its a grower.
These guys are great. No, it not over the top pomp AOR, but it classic in terms of strong song writing, good chops, and understated melodies. I rate this a 9.5. Yes, it is mellow and elevator-ish. Kinda reminds me of John Waite brand of AOR.

——————————————————————————————-

Wonderful and complete melodic hard rock of a rare beauty and interest. They start a song in a soft way to finish with energy, all around a great originality. One of the most interesting bands I do have.

——————————————————————————————-

Its a pity these guys didn’t release more stuff as this is excellent and a real grower. Its not for the hard rockers but those with a discerning taste.

——————————————————————————————-

Despite the name and after a real listening of this record, well it ended up to be full of good cuts…for me the band is like a mix of Dan Reed Network, Lenny Kravitz, Circle Of Soul & a light version of Living Colour…””Mirror”” could be the highlight of the record, a song that starts in a nice subtle way an it ends edgy, “Miles Away(Too Fast For You)”” is a good acoustic track…””All The Love In The World””, “”Stop What You’re Doing”” & “”December”” are also great.”
