***Our fave Berlin behemoths of greasy glam junkshop stomp SLANDER TONGUE slither back on the scene with a mighty fine 7inch of cathartic rock’n’roll groove. It’s unfortunate that 2021’s first fist shaking anthem has to be about screaming at one’s own walls, but here we are: “Now it’s May and I should be faraway, But I do the same thing as yesterday, This shit goes all year long, And I keep playing that song.“ At least they managed to squeeze these two bangers out while stuck at home, and fortunately not stuck in a rut!

***Slovenly Recordings welcomes Germany’s suave rock’n’roll true-believers SLANDER TONGUE to our stable of international beat group sensations! On their debut, self titled LP (that’s this one you’re holding here, Mac), we have a heady brew of solid gold Real Kids vibes, with guitar solos that don’t allow for the passing of urine during between-song pauses. Think of Johnny Thunders sharing a ride with Fred "Sonic" Smith, while Ian Hunter and Chris Bailey are drunk in the backseat howling along to a beat up tape of Goat's Head Soup. Birthed at a sonic orgy in the V.I.P. closet at Berlin’s famed Wowsville haunt, Slander Tongue slithered out to the crowd as a four headed beast with its ass planted firmly and forevermore at the bar. With lead duties vociferously handled by AUTOMATIC AXEL of BIKES / MODERN PETS, and propelled by JOHNBOY ADONIS (KING KHAN AND THE SHRINES) together with local roll-idols KLAUS H. ANDRES "CHICO" M., Slander Tongue has got its rhythm stripped down to the bare essentials, and their bluesy boogie set to wiggle ya from a grimy dancefloor to the boudoir. (STREET DATE - 2/21/2020)
