Constantly juggling hardcore and pop projects, veteran Bay Area musician Tony Molina has won fans of both camps.Since 2002, Molina has played in several bands including Dystrophy, Ovens, Lifetime Problems, Caged Animal, Violent Change, and his current solo work.In all of these projects, Molina values lyrical simplicity, structural conciseness, and the emotional impact of gnarly guitar riffs!Most recently, he released the Six Tracks EP via Matador Records’ Going Home Alone series.With five brief power-pop originals on the A-side and a stellar cover of Metallica’s Orion on the flip, it contains a bona fide pop hit in Breakin Up, a melody that recalls the best of Dinosaur Jr. and Teenage Fanclub, and sounds like a lost ’70s radio hit for everyone.Pure magic!
