Seattle duo Acid Tongue are rooted in the Emerald City — frontman Guy Keltner and drummer Ian Cunningham have been crafting their psych-garage sound around town since 2015, and the pair, along with KEXP's own Skyler Locatelli, founded the local label Freakout Records — but their backing band extends around the globe, a rotating roster of musicians from Paris to Mexico City, Los Angeles to London, and cities in between.
On their 2017 debut LP Babies, the duo reflected on adolescence and puberty. On their forthcoming full-length Bullies (out March 13th via Freakout, of course), the band display a more mature sound, while still retaining the '70's-influenced rock you've come to know them for. Acid Tongue celebrate their album release show on March 13th at the Tractor Tavern.
