To start with a bad pun, TIO are anything but invisible with the immense sound that they produce. One of Notts\u2019 finest musical creations, TIO sees twenty odd muso\u2019s from all different musical background come together to make beautifully bombastic tunes. <\/span><\/p>\n

And, now, in June 2016 – their debut album has arrived. <\/span>Champagne Taste, Lemonade Money<\/span><\/i> is an album that is as interesting as it\u2019s name. <\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re thrown straight in at the deep end of blissful creation with <\/span>No Time Like The Present – <\/span><\/i>an epic collage of instruments I have no idea how to pronounce, a ridiculously catchy piano riff, and some beaut vocals from HANNAH HEARTSHAPE<\/strong><\/a>.
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>HARLEIGHBLU<\/strong><\/a> takes the vocal baton on track two, and thrusts us into a seductive world of love and twisted metaphors. We\u2019re also reminded that Harleigh has quite the set of pipes on her. And (I can\u2019t explain why) it makes me wanna put on a tux and go to a casino and bet it all on black.<\/span><\/p>\n

The title track slows us down big time and takes us on\u00a0a more reflective path. Which is a weird sensation, cos the track is entirely instrumental. But – it makes you feel the feels man. I feel like I just met a girl, fell in love, started planning my wedding and then she sodded off with the fit guy from behind the bar. Bit of a tangent yeah, so tell me, what did this song make you feel?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then <\/span>I Know I Lied <\/span><\/i>\u00a0comes along, and it\u2019s like the girl who I fell in love with (for three minutes) heard the wailing (not in a good way)\u00a0from the bedroom and feels really bad about it – so she\u2019s come to apologise. But I\u2019m having none of her shit. <\/span><\/p>\n

A few tunes later and <\/span>Benzo Fury <\/span><\/i>helps us get our skank back on. Within thirty seconds, I\u2019m transported back to many a good times at The Maze<\/strong><\/a> with a can of stella in hand, trying my best to work out how to move my feet and hands in time to the beautifully blissful\u00a0tunes. <\/span><\/p>\n

My personal highlight comes in the form of album closer <\/span>War –<\/span><\/i> PERCYDREAD<\/strong><\/a> takes on vocal duty, and leads us through a song that makes you wanna march in tune. It\u2019s like an anthem for everyone who\u2019s pissed off with war – \u00a0so pretty much… well everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do I have any idea what the album title means? No, well, maybe, I think it’s a bit naughty. But, one thing I do know – this is an epic album, that will be remembered for a very long time.
