Church Tongue

**Church Tongue** is the cathartic solo project of Vancouver-based musician Shayna Leigh, blending raw post-hardcore energy with moody alt-rock hooks. Emerging in 2020, Leigh’s music thrives on visceral lyricism and unflinching vulnerability, tackling themes of betrayal, identity, and existential angst—all wrapped in a sound that nods to bands like *Touché Amoré* and *Deftones*. Recent tracks like *Bury Me (One Thousand Times)* and *Hell Is Empty* showcase her knack for pairing guttural screams with melodic introspection, while collaborations (like *When It Betrays* featuring Twitching Tongues’ Colin Young) highlight her DIY ethos and ties to the underground heavy scene. With a reputation for blistering live performances and a growing discography (including releases through DAZE Records), Church Tongue feels like a sonic exorcism—equal parts chaos and clarity.
