Matt Toka To Release Self-Titled EP On June 12th



L.A. PUNK-POP ARTIST TO PERFORM ON THE VANS WARPED TOUR 
ALL SUMMER LONG

Punk/pop artist/upstart MATT TOKA will release a self-titled EP through Warner Bros. Records on June 12th. The six-track EP includes the studio versions of previous YouTube-only tracks "666" and "Ode To My Family," as well as "Say10," which is currently available via all digital retailers. The EP will be released physically and digitally - the digital version includes lyric videos for two tracks, "666" and "Get Money." (Watch the latter here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tjk0gcmH9o&feature=youtube). All tracks are produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance) with whom Toka has been recording his debut album, which will be released later this year.

Toka is also gearing up for his summer-long trek with the entire Vans Warped Tour, which will snake its way across the country beginning June 16th in Salt Lake City, UT, and close in Portland, OR on Aug 5th. If you've yet to see Matt and band play live, get ready for a jolt of melodic rock action. 

As previously mentioned, Toka's YouTube video presence is growing fast. If you've yet to view his videos, here they are:  "666" and "Ode to My Family". His homemade videos are equally fun viewing as well:  "Someone Like You," (yes, the Adele song)"Paradise," (Coldplay cover) and a frantic live version of "Say10" have racked up views in excess of 725,000 and counting in 2012 alone.
