Slipping Tongue

When Slipping Tongue had their first practice and wrote their first song, in their school music room in early 2002, they knew they had stumbled across a very unique and original sound. Influenced heavily by System of a Down, Snot, Pantera and Tool, this five-piece hard rock group, lead by an immensely talented female vocalist, began stunning audiences. Since then Slipping Tongue has released four EP's entitled 'Running For Words', 'Hypocrite', 'Grip the Fist' and most recently 'Rusted tears and time shed nails'. With a sound described by one reviewer as "metallic bump & grind worked into a glorious frenzy," and highlighted by Jennie's singing (which "has rich strong tonality, sometimes pure as a bell, yet other times roaring with gravel in the chest"), Slipping Tongue are increasingly being mentioned in local music circles as one of the rising stars of the New Zealand rock scene." Mike Mather – Rotorua Daily Post "Slipping Tongue have a tight and punchy sound and it's refreshing to see an energetic live performance." Savant "SLIPPING TONGUE are part of the future sound of Aotearoa …there is a future for these young people and I [encourage] airtime to help spread the love for the TONGUE! SLIPPING TONGUE are energy, vibrancy and brightness in a music spectrum, which is increasingly becoming black and white." Jan Maree Franicevic – Marketing Mastermind /Personality - The Generator 89ZERO Hamilton "This is one band that does not disappoint and by all rights should be snaffled up by a major label then turned into a worldwide rock phenomenon!"
