RINGTONE EP IS NOW ON THE LOOSE

We just released our full debut EP in time for Bandcamp Friday! It’s only $3 and includes three rad tunes as well as our actual blood, sweat, tears (and more!), and you can purchase or stream the full thing on Bandcamp (link in our bio) now! And if you buy it today, the full proceeds go to us, your devoted Toners!

These are some of the first songs we played together and we are so glad to finally have them out in the world after over a year being locked up in the vaults! Thanks to everyone who was a part of bringing this project to life we love you all sm!

On top of that we are so excited to share that we are playing with some of our absolute favorite bands, Good Flying Birds, The Smarthearts, and Heatloaf on August 27th for FREE at Spruce Harbor Park. Incredible bill, thanks so much to @4333collective for taking a chance on us and we hope to see you speed dialers there!

We also have hats for just $15 designed by our very own @doctorbabywizard and brought to life by @osprey.corp, you can buy them online now (link in bio), they come in three rad colorways and you can even get free shipping within Philadelphia with code RINGSHIP!

Lastly, we are so excited to share that we just finished tracking 11 more songs with our spiritual guru Dave Klyman and they will be reaching you soon so more to come on the Ringtone horizon! We might have even just recorded a little video session….. but more on that in due time. Love y’all so so much, sign up for our newsletter (link in bio) to keep up to date on everything Ringtone, and keep on keepin on 💕

EEEEEEEP 😳

That’s right, our debut single “Pokie” is out now on Bandcamp! We’ve sent Spotify a list of demands and maybe if they follow through we’ll put it there eventually, but until then, visit the link in our bio to pre-order our EP, “Play Guitar” for the low low price of a cup of coffee 10 years ago.

We’ve been sitting on these songs for a minute but they are sounding better than ever, thanks to the tireless help of @etaifuc and our guests @alex_but_autonomously on organ, @daphne_saatchi on horns, and @gabbofrank666 on guest vox. Pokie specifically also features a ton of our friends, and it feels so special to get to include so many people we love in this big moment for us!

So all that is to say, give it a listen, maybe pre-order the EP, and stop by @minimart.phl for our release show tonight! We’ll be playing the whole thing as well as plenty of other tunes, new and old.

Love to all the speed dialers,
Ringtone ☎️

WHAT HAPPENED TO RINGTONE??

Someone messed with the fabric of reality and the only way to put Ringtone back together again is to come to our last show of the year, Saturday, Dec. 20th at @rugclubphl in West!

It’s an insane bill of some of our besties and a few of them are even celebrating their BIRTHDAYS with proceeds going to a great cause so like kind of a no brainer! Msg for address and give us a hug and we will play you a song! Love you all and thanks for an amazing first year of Ringtone!!! 🥰 Popmusicforever

Boo! Booooo! 👻

That’s right, Ringtone is capping off Halloweekend on Sunday, Nov. 2nd by playing a cover set as the 2nd greatest Britpop band of the mid-90’s, Oasis! It’s gonna be an insane rager with 5 other wonderful bands doing their thing at the legendary @minimart.phl so come early and in costume for a discount!! We will be getting into the Oasis spirit by binge drinking and fighting onstage 🌷

We also have a show this Thursday, October 30 where we are playing as ourselves with our old friends @isapickett_ and our new friends @fortunafivehunderd at @hallpasshallpasshallpass next to Vox Populi! Last regular Ringtone show for a bit so if you can’t make the Halloween bash be sure to party with us there! 🌿 taken in West Philly Baby by @xafeht187
