T̶O̶N̶G̶U̶E

I been extremely busy on stupid shit I wished I wasn't busy on like the new stuff for Revolver Ocelots new and first full length so that I can do more posts on here. I have a lot to catch up on, but there's that saying "A real man does shit he doesn't like doing". So let me start off with this post. One of the members of this band told me to post there first release EP on here. I was actually going to in early Spring but what the hey I'll do it now ^.^ since there new comers still. You know the scene in the bay area is pretty dope since this band is from Oakland. Many great bands are from there. I heard this band right when this EP came out one of the members posted on facebook. I checked it and holy fuck. I freakin loved this EP. I mean for a bands first release I will say the quality isn't no skramz demo that came from a garage. Its obvious these guys are taking this stuff seriously, I mean they should. Cause I dig this good stuff. And it hurt my feelings if they weren't and would lead me to depression and cry my little eyes out. If you mixed Moldar/John Cota/Calculator/Matsuri/Kidcrash you get this since it has that similarity sound. I still have the songs on my phone and bump to it at times. I really dig the shouty/screamy vocals. But what I dig the most is the rhythm of the band its pretty upbeat to me, almost like it wants to be twinklyish but busts some jazzy skramz tempos at some point. So it is definetly really good stuff to listen to. That I'd be intense just watching them live. Or even if im drinking with friends and I play this I be nooding my head. So for you Kali Sounds fans, and Kalifornia Mixtape. If you make another compilation. Be sure to add this band to the family as well. You can't miss them. I am stoked for the new recordings coming soon. So I know I cant miss that shit out. So peeps check these guys because they play fucking awesome. I am confused whether the band is called "T̶O̶N̶G̶U̶E" or "No Tongue" or "Tongue".... Yeah -.-

The Reptilian

Lately I been hooked up again to this exciting rare of a band. SImilar sounds to Alta's and Native's groovy rhythm I do remember listening to this band when they released Boys Life EP then they later released the 3 unreleased songs in which I thought they were to be on the Later Full Health 10". Sadly they didn't but its okay that release is cool too. When they released there digital EP "We Have Become" and once I heard it.. I was blown by the mixture sound of the band. Sorta reminded me of some Ska, punk, Raggae, experimental, indie type of form music. I fucking loved it. They are jams to get faded too. I still do til this day. I have actually ordered a copy of there Boys Life EP and Full health 10". THe band later progrssed to that twinkly screamoish sound which I still think its fucking cool. It sucks they never released the 3 live songs from there cassette which I ever hope they have studio recordings of these songs. It had that sound of the 3 unreleased songs. Well I do like this band a lot and there isn't much to be said by them but just a reminder post of how awesome they are.
