This blog has been a little bootleg-heavy recently, so shall be balancing things out in the next few days by posting on some new bands. Anyway, onwards... Crooked Tongues were formed in summer 2010 in Leeds. The band say on their Soundcloud page they are influenced by bands such as The Who, the Sex Pistols and Oasis, and have the noble mission statement of bringing "the classic days of indie back to a new generation". Although they only have 2 songs available online, their music echoes the intent in those words. Of these two, Fake Smile is a swaggering anthem that sounds like a more 'Oasis-y' Twisted Wheel, and Lick It is a two and a half minute instrumental that sounds almost like an instrumental version of Stereophonics' 'Soldiers Make Good Targets', which is most definitely not a bad thing. These two songs show great promise, and I am sure I'm not the only one eagerly awaiting more being posted (I'll be sure to keep you in the loop). Those who listened to and enjoyed Echo Raptors (and if you haven't, what are you waiting for?!) would do well to check out this band, as well as obviously fans of Oasis and those yearning for the days when bands had a bit more swagger and attitude.
