When Warner Bros. Records bought Slash, they took over distribution of Ruby's three most popular albums (The Gun Club's Fire of Love, The Misfits' Walk Among Us, The Dream Syndicate's The Days of Wine and Roses) and deleted the others (which included releases by The Flesh Eaters, Blurt and Lydia Lunch).
In a June 2008 review for online music magazine Blurt, rock critic Chuck Eddy described The Tonic Rays' sound as a 'rustic, sitar-spiced, and surprisingly catchy species of psychedelic folk-rock that Jefferson Airplane or the Shocking Blue might recognize.'
