BLACK SABBATH - PARANOID
TONIC - IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE

Tonic's new self-titled album hit stores this week on 429 Records and the band will hit the road later this month in support of the effort. Here is the announcement: It's been almost eight years since the Grammy-nominated "Head on Straight" (they released a Greatest Hits collection early last year), and the band has returned reenergized with a collection of twelve new songs. Produced by Tonic and Nathaniel Kunkel, "Tonic" is redolent of their trademark honest, powerful, melodic rock sound. In addition, Tonic has confirmed a number of tour dates and will be performing throughout 2010 in support of "Tonic."

You can check out the experience at 94xfm.com! The blackdiamondskye tour has been announced as well, featuring Mastodon, Alice In Chains and Deftones.
