Last month long running local band Acid Tongue came by the station to talk about what they had in the works right now. The answer: A lot.
Their new album Acid On The Dancefloor is out this month (April 12th) with a pair of early release shows at the Belltown Yacht Club in Seattle on April 5th and 6th. After those shows Acid Tongue will be performing in New York on April 12th and plan to tour Europe and the UK this year. So yeah, you could say they have a lot going on.

It's for those reasons and many more that Acid Tongue is our Locals Only Artist of the Month of April and you will hear their fantastic new single "Blame It On The Youth" all month long on The End.
Learn more about Acid Tongue below:
Acid Tongue is an American garage band heavily influenced by classic soul, punk & psychedelic rock. Formed in a damp Seattle basement in 2015, the band immediately hit the road, extensively touring the US & Europe and refining their unique brand of rock & roll.
Consisting of a core duo—singer/songwriter Guy Keltner & drummer/vocalist Ian Cunningham—the band also includes numerous touring & studio musicians scattered between Paris, New York, London, Mexico City, & Los Angeles, with a rotating roster that seems to grow larger by the day.
In 2015, Acid Tongue established their own label, Freakout Records, and in 2017 the band released their debut album, aptly titled BABIES. The album is a soulful, stoney, heartfelt approach to modern psychedelia. Their 2020 sophomore album, BULLIES, expanded upon the themes of their debut, cementing the band as the Pacific Northwest’s most unique garage-rock proprietors. For their third studio album, ARBORETUM, the band recruited veterans from the psychedelic rock scene during production, resulting in first-rate collaborations with artists such as Death Valley Girls, Naked Giants and Canadian singer Calvin Love.
Acid Tongue’s fourth full-length, ACID ON THE DANCEFLOOR, due out Spring 2024, showcases their now signature sound and a back-to-basics approach to rock music. Incorporating elements of glam, R&B and post-punk, the album is a loud, funky and chaotic acid trip that redefines “the Seattle sound”.
