Introducing > Tony or Tony > new single ‘Fire Flies’
Tony or Tony is the infectious NYC duo bringing a true freak energy back to pop. They approach songwriting with a childlike imagination, the mood drifting from prankster humor to introspection, earnest love songs and nightmare scenes. On the surface, the themes of their music are quite simple – songs about love and going to parties – but it quickly becomes disorienting as if in a dream or experimental movie – both of which very much inspire their craft.
