Announced self-titled album

After the year 2010 began, Tonic announced that their self-titled fourth studio album would be released on May 4, 2010. The album was primarily recorded over the span of a month during fall 2009 at Conway Studios in Hollywood. Pete Maloney also continued his longtime association with the band by playing drums on the album. The album was jointly produced by Tonic and Nathaniel Kunkel, with the song “Release Me” chosen as the first single from the album. A promotional behind the scenes tour of Conway Studios hosted by Emerson Hart was made available on Amazon.com’s Tonic store and YouTube at the time. In an official press release for the album, bandmember Hart said about Tonic that, “When we play music together it feels like going home. Getting together, playing some rock-n-roll, it’s the best feeling in the world.” The self-titled album spent one week on the Billboard 200 chart, where it ranked 150. Tonic continued to tour in conjunction with the release of their self-titled album into late 2011.
