Tony Molina has a multifaceted musical personality. He got his start playing in hardcore bands, but over time developed two distinct styles that are very far removed from that sound. Initially under the name Ovens, then as a solo artist, he crafts bite-sized chunks of melodic pop that can be broken into two subheadings: quiet acoustic guitar-led ballads and noisy electric songs that nimbly meld grunge and power pop. Molina broke through with 2013's Dissed and Dismissed, which leaned almost exclusively on his louder songs to great effect. Not content to be pigeonholed, however, he switched to the gentle, acoustic side of his dual nature for his next two releases -- which included 2018's Baroque pop-influenced LP Kill the Lights -- before issuing 2022's In the Fade, an album that incorporated all aspects of his previous work as a solo artist.
