\"THE<\/p>\n

The members of The Blonde Tongues<\/b> have been playing together since they were teenagers. Since taking on their current moniker in 2016, the quintet have been mainstays of Florida\u2019s underground music scene. Even though some members have been touring in other projects; Gouge Away, Can’t Swim and Northbound, the five-piece have still found time to write, record and release music that considerably pushes the envelope of what is expected of a rock band.<\/p>\n

This past April, they release an EP called ‘Anxiety Dream’<\/i> which saw The Blonde Tongues<\/b> embrace a psychedelic dream-punk sound, with a stylistic nod to 70’s NYC rock and 90’s college radio rock. Although the EP was released in the Spring, they’ve already delivered new material in the form of a new single –\u00a0‘Turn Me Out’<\/i>.<\/p>\n

With ‘Turn Me Out’<\/i><\/a> being recently shared online, we’re pleased to be premiering its B-side –\u00a0‘Rain Check’<\/i>. The track sees the Florida band maintain and expand on their fuzzed-out pop sound, pulling from heavily from their power-pop influences. Dripping with reverse reverbs, delays, vintage Mellotron flutes, ‘Rain Check’<\/i> stirs up characteristics of Led Zeppelin, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, and Pink Floyd.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Rain Check\u2019 is a haunting, psychedelic, stoner anthem for anyone who would much rather do nothing than anything else,\u201d<\/i> the band explains.<\/p>\n
