Defined by grinding guitars and thunderous drums, TON has created a unique and massive sound. Their passion and intensity is a testament to their love of what they do. Together since the summer of 2003, TON has played the east coast extensively in clubs like CBGB's in New York City, Ziggy's in Winston Salem NC, and The Money in Rock Hill SC, and will soon play the legendary Whisky in LA next spring. The band has performed at several benefits and also hit the stage at Metal Mindrage III in Baltimore, Maryland. Equipment includes enough PA to rock any club, or they can plug and play using house PA for headlining and opening spots. Shows are currently being scheduled for the coming year on the tails of their newest release, “Diablo Sandwich”. TON – The Workin’ Man’s Rock-N-Roll.

Drummer Randy Yeatts was born and raised in Danville, Virginia, and has been playing continuously for 20 years. His influences began with KISS, Zepplin, and AC/DC, and has grown to include Van Halen, Dokken, Rush and Mötley Crüe. High energy and comic relief are his trademarks along with the undying dream of actually catching one of those damn drumsticks that he tosses up mid song! Randy plays Ludwig drums and also does some lead and backup vocals.
Lead guitarist Johnny Dalton was also raised in Danville. He has played a variety of music for 25 years and has always had a love for song writing. Beginning as a drummer he worked his way to bass and then guitar and has been writing and recording ever since. His influences include Black Label Society, Pantera, C.O.C., and KISS. As lead singer he delivers an aggressive growl and stage presence that the crowd loves. Johnny plays Gibson Les Paul guitars through Marshall amplifiers.
Bass player Jud Motley, from Chatham, Virginia, has been playing for 6 years. The white-eyed wonder brings speed and intensity to the stage. His influences include Metallica, Collective Soul, and Led Zepplin, which have all been incorporated into his own style. Jud plays Ibanez basses.
