Addie Tonic’s catchy songs are driven by Meghann5k’s pop-fueled lyrics and Matt’s rock-inspired guitar licks, building garage rock/shoegaze like walls of sound with a punk rock edge. is an alterna-rock band formed in Denver, CO featuring dynamic front woman Meghann5k (Vocals, Guitar), Matt Youngblood (Lead Guitar, Vocals), Dylan Tilton (Bass), and Dennis Valencia (Drums).

We spent some time discussing how Meghann and Matt met, subsequent formation of the band, and the music that they have put out to date. We discuss Matt's prior work with Jerry Joseph, Todd Nance & Friends, The Interstellar Boys, JoJo Hermann and how he and Meghann have collaborated with other amazing musicians and producers to put together their killer sound. We discuss many, many topics - give a listen!

I really enjoyed sitting down with these beautiful folks to talk about all things Rock & Roll - go check these guys out if you have the opportunity! Here's a few dates:
