Bio

Originally formed as a solo-bedroom project by Samuelito Cruz in 2014. With interest of a few labels Cruz was convinced to record a full length record that later came out in Spring of 2015 titled LP recorded in the backyard shed of his mom’s house. As a moving transition from West End (lower east bay) to Oakland, & the falling apart of his former band Happy Diving. Cruz decided to start playing live shows with a full band consisting of hometown friends Maxwell Carver, Sean Glass & Kennan Sommer. The band has maintained the same line-up since 2015 putting out two EP’s Passing Glance & Killing Pace. Silk Road is the bands latest effort, their first studio album & sophomore full length consisting of 10 songs in just over 20 minutes. Produced & Engineered by David Kelling of Culture Abuse & Mixed/Mastered by Jasper Leach of Tony Molina. Silk Road is the defining release of the new sound of Toner as a transition from solo-bedroom pop to a blown out full band effort.
