The Tonalities are an up and coming band from Sunderland. They’ve gained a lot of attention including a headline slot at Independent in Sunderland. Their sound is a blend of catchy upbeat rock with a mainstream appeal. I love their new single Chances because it packs a strong punch.

‘Chances’ is a rock track with driving guitar riffs, however, the vocals are extremely melodic. I think its impressive that it was recorded in a day because there’s so many melodic funky overdubs that help The Tonalities stand apart. The reflective lyrics go well in a minor key because it captures the downbeat mood.

‘Chances’ is a brilliant song, and I look forward to hearing more of The Tonalities very soon.
