ACID TONGUE | Los Angeles, CA, USA

Retour à la nature pour Acid Tongue ? Allez savoir, mais il n’en fallait pas plus pour que Guy Keltner se remette à écrire et à composer, et, surtout, aille (beaucoup) mieux. Oubliées la défonce et la bouteille, place au rock’n’roll, ou plutôt à un psyché-glam rock de très bon aloi, au songwriting hautement réfléchi et loin des effets faciles de certains de ses confrères. - Rolling Stone France

BIO

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, Mexico & Europe, and refining their unique brand of rock & roll.

Founded by singer/songwriter Guy Keltner, 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, released in 2024 on Le Cèpe Records (Paris), showcased their now signature sound and a back-to-basics approach to rock music.

Acid Tongue's latest album, SCARS, is the band's most personal release to date. The record is moody, atmospheric and overflowing with the psychedelia and punk rock characteristics that have defined the band's sound over the past decade. Recorded at Seattle’s Electrokitty Studios with NW producer Garrett Reynolds (Sleater-Kinney, Quasi), the record is a diverse and grungy exploration of romance and immaturity in today’s chaotic world.
