Krooked Tongue

**Krooked Tongue** is a Bristol-based alt-rock trio known for their raw, riff-heavy sound and moody, visceral energy. Formed in 2018, the band—made up of Dominic Green (vocals/guitar), Harry Reeves (bass), and Dan Smith (drums)—mixes grunge grit with post-punk swagger, drawing comparisons to acts like Queens of the Stone Age and IDLES. Their music thrives on brooding basslines, punchy drums, and Green’s distinctive, gravelly vocals, with tracks like “Deathproof” and “No Vacancy Hotel” showcasing their knack for dark, anthemic hooks.

Since bursting onto the scene, Krooked Tongue has built a reputation for intense live shows and a steady stream of releases, including standouts like “Velociraptor” and “Freaky Love” (both 2023). Signed to Cigar Records, they’ve toured with acts like Tigercub and graced festivals like 2000trees, cementing their status as one of the UK’s most promising underground rock acts. Their lyrics often twist everyday angst into something primal, making their music feel both cathartic and eerily relatable.
