A-Tota-So

A-tota-so are a noisy alt-rock band powered by momentum, collaboration and a refusal to settle into one version of themselves. Known for their visceral live shows and restless creativity, the band have built a reputation on pushing their sound forward rather than looking back. After years of relentless gigging including multiple performances at festivals such as ArcTanGent, Strangeforms and portals, a-tota-so expanded their world with 2022’s Lights Out. The record leaned fully into collaboration, featuring guest vocalists from across the UK and Irish underground, including God Alone, The St Pierre Snake Invasion, Sans Froid, No Violet, Irk and more. That approach quickly became central to the live experience. Guest appearances turned from rare moments into a defining feature, with the band sharing stages with 89 different vocalists (and counting) since the album’s release. Over time, that constant exchange reshaped the band from within and pointed toward a new chapter. Their third album, I Told You So, due in 2026, sees Marty Toner step forward as lead vocalist for the first time as the band lean into a more grungey post-hardcore stance while still remaining true to their atotaso DNA. Recorded during a week-long residency in an old Welsh mill in early 2025 with JT Soar and Snug Recording Co, the album captures a-tota-so at their most direct and ferocious. The album was mixed by Mark Roberts (Black Peaks, Delta Sleep, Vower, Every Hell) and mastered by Stephen Kerrison.
