Bio:
Tongue
is a power trio rock band from Belgrade, Serbia. The band started as
a Bizic Vladimir (Ripkid) solo project in 2010 after the demise of
his long-running hardcorepunk band Lets Grow where he used to play
the lead guitar. Tongue roots date back to 2003 with the band called
Wishingwell that Bizic Vladimir was a part of (vocals) together with
his late brother Pavkovic Srdjan (1978 - 2005) on guitar, Stevan
Cirovic (Jaibo!, Lets Grow, While) on drums, Sinisa Videkanic on bass
(Ex-Lets Grow) and Nemanja Gvozdenovic on lead guitar. Wishingwell
didn't make any record or live appearance due to a death of Pavkovic
Srdjan in 2005. Tongue has major influences from the genres of
hardcorepunk, stoner rock, hardrock, classic rock and metal music but
is open for experimenting.

Review:
Tongue
is a band who I have been a fan of for quite some time now. I have
featured every record they have released so far as shown from the
links below.
Plus
I have interviewed the main man Biza in 2012 as well. Though I may
have to change that and interview him again.
Anyway
Tongue are back with their with latest single – No Handles To Hold
– a hard rocking Stoner Rock track that sees Biza playing riffs
that QOTSA used to play back in their earlier days. It's a fucking
brilliant Stoner Rock track packed full of sublime riffs and spiky
vocals & lyrics to match.
Biza
once again did all of the work on this EP. Instrumentals ,
Programming and vocals. So he is a one-man Stoner Rock Maestro. If
you're already a fan of Tongue then you're going to love this like I
did. If you haven't heard Tongue before then No Handles To Hold is
the perfect introduction as you're in for one wild ride. OK it only
lasts for 4 minutes but it's got some excellent Stoner Rock riffs for
you to rock out to.
Plus
you can check the 3 other EP's that Biza has available for FreeDownload as well. I wish some cool independent record label would
take a chance on Biza and give him a record deal. He has proven what
a fantastic musician and songwriter he really is. I would just love
to see him unleashed on a full length studio recording. But until
then Biza remains one of the true underground Stoner Rock heroes.
Download
this song from BandCamp now. You won't be sorry.
Brilliant.
End Of.
