Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! Hammer horror heavy psych and evil theatrical giallo fuzz from New Zealand via the Seventh Circle. Earth Tongue’s puckish dual-vocals and punkish aplomb paired with Troy the Band’s monolithic stoner doom = pure heaven/hell FFO: Ty Segall, Sabbath, Slift, Dead Meadow, Black Rainbows, Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats."

Earth Tongue
Sometimes music is supposed to feel weird and indescribable. It’s the moments of clarity within the dense, sonic mess that often feels the most satisfying. That’s the space that Earth Tongue occupy. At times, their songs are shrill and disorientating, other times their reverb-washed textures and instantly- familiar hooks can wrap you in a warm, loving embrace. The one consistent thread through their music, however, is the thick and all encompassing fuzz. Guitarist Gussie Larkin has become a master of the fuzz-smothered riff, and along with Ezra Simons’ off-kilter drumming, they’ve been sending punters into transcendental states since they began gigging in their home town of Wellington, New Zealand in 2016.
Troy The Band
