Tonic took a break from constant touring and recording, time which Hart used to, “…make sure the next record would be coming from fresh eyes and ears” after he moved to a new home in Nashville, Tennessee . In 2002, the band began collaborating with producer Bob Rock on their next studio recording. In contrast to the “exhausting” experience of self-producing Sugar , producer Rock’s “laid-back efficiency” and Hawaii studio location provided a welcome change. The resulting studio album, Head on Straight , was released on September 1, 2002.
