Grunge: loud, crunching rock 'n' roll. Grunge is dead. Put away the flannels that dressed it up, because real innovators like nothing better than to tear off the labels stuck on them by critics. Producer Butch Vig, Nirvana singer- guitarist Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl helped originate the grunge sound.

The Tonyies are lead singer and bassist Raphael Wiggins, his guitarist brother D'wayne Wiggins, and their cousin, drummer Timothy Christian Riley. They're all in their mid-20s, and this CD is an R.-and-B. tribute to the music they grew up with. My Ex- Girlfriend borrows the bridge from Sly and the Family Stone's 1968 song M'Lady. As another cut fades, Raphael sings, "Last night a D.J. saved...
