T.O.M. is an alternative Rock band from the south of Spain with a funny mix of influences.

T.O.M. live @ Tribute to John Lennon in Atarfe (Granada) 2013
T.O.M. live @ Tribute to John Lennon in Atarfe (Granada) 2013

T.O.M. (The Organized Misuse) was founded by the prolific songwriter Tom Kron as a One-Man-Band. His music has been influenced by a variety of music styles and musicians, to whom he plays tribute to in many of his strikingly powerful songs. In 2007, the versatile guitarist Jan Pohl joined the band adding his enthusiasm, musical talent and influences. In 2011, Peter Biely, professional violinist of the Orchestra Ciudad de Granada, added his fire and talent on violin and mandolin, along with the naturally talented Javi López on bass, and the multitalented Dr. Jan Hendrikxs on drums. These three new additions have brought T.O.M. to a new level of musical interpretation, excitement and professionalism. Above all, the versatile, energetic band T.O.M. is a light-hearted group of incredibly talented friends who put on a great, energetic and powerful show.

Really enjoying Dark Zone (unplugged) and Carnival of the Poor - great lyricism and musicality to all your songs!

 

Wud Records

Liking this [London Town] a lot! Reminds us of both Tom Waits and Pyg, from the Archives section of our website.

 

Leevje:  ...ziemlich abgedreht Herr Kron ('Loop and Vibrophone Variations')

 

The X-Friends (on 'Loop and Vibrophone Variations')

The Vibraphone sounds wicked and works well with the song.

 

Kingsheart (on 'Howling Like A Werewolf):

That‘s a really cool song 

 

Present Paradox (on 'The Carnival of the Poor')

Great track, it creates a unique mood and shares some lovely Tom Waits vibes :) 

 

REQUIEM 

Wow You Guys Are Awesome. Cool. REQUIEM

 

Regolith

Great music! I’m digging it!

 

El Loco Cirilo

Disfrutando la cancion CARNIVAL

 

Cyril Harris Jr

Cool sound, DARK ZONE reminds me of Nirvanas Something in the Way

 

Annika Jayne (on 'The Carnival of the Poor'): This is probably one of my favourite tracks ever - it has such a wonderful Tom Waits touch and cool lyrics as well.

 

Bradders (LONDON PEAKY)

This is what it sounds like when Tom Waits and the Gipsy Kings cross paths in some downbeat Mexican bar while waiting for the storm to pass......

Great work from @TOMtheorganized

T.O.M. - The Carnival of the Poor 

 

Danny Stoakes (Stoakes Media)

London Town is my favourite TOM song

 

John Warwick answered to the question: What song do you wish you wrote?

The Carnival of the Poor by TOM, it's true classic, all the element of a masterpiece, it's a theme of life. the vocal , the lyrics , the atmosphere, if it was in a movie, a big orchestra half way through song, the Oscar for original song - winner!!

 

Henrik Cipriano

Congratulations, great songs. All the best to you

I like the arpeggiated chords in "Carnival of the Poor". Juxtaposed with your rough voice and the tambourine perfectly match the lyrics.

Adam Nicholson

It's one thing you're influenced by Tom Waits (I love Tom Waits) but another when you genuinely sound like him so much to the extent you 'own it' and I think he'd be flattered! Great tunes to back it up and the fiddle playing is a superb touch!
