Press release:

Hot and sweaty off the stage having supported Queens of the Stone Age, Earth Tongue, the brainchild of guitarist Gussie Larkin and drummer Ezra Simons today announce a four date tour of Aotearoa.

The duo, known for their heavy flavour of fuzz-soaked psychedelic rock, are also pleased to unveil their signing to In The Red Records, (Thee Oh Sees, Fuzz, The Linda Lindas) an iconic Los Angeles based rock 'n' roll label that formed in 1991. “Great Haunting” will be released worldwide on June 14th 2024.

The ascent of Earth Tongue is testament to their dedication and hard work. They've toured relentlessly across Europe and scored support slots for acts like IDLES and Ty Segall. They’re consistently selling out headline shows and featuring on festival lineups throughout Aotearoa and Australia. 2024 sees the band embark on a bold new chapter with their first performance in the USA at SXSW, Austin. They also have more than 40 dates booked throughout Europe this summer and many more exciting announcements to come.
