The Tongue – Alternative Energy

Jim Steps

Some are content to watch on as life unfolds: happy to experience the movement from a distance. Others burst into life, like a reptile breaking open its own shell in order to get things happening. The latter would aptly describe The Tongue, and this is his brand new album Alternative Energy. Blessed with an infectious style and charisma, The Tongue has a knack for creating ‘sticky’ phrases that stay with you – wrapped inside hooky flows that suck you in. His style has an elegant complexity, dispatching pop culture references with acerbic wit, speaking straight to true hip hop heads … Continue reading The Tongue – Alternative Energy

The Tongue – The Show (Alternative Energy Sept 10)

Jim Steps

The Tongue climbs back into the ring with the announcement of his explosive new single The Show. Widely regarded as one of Australia’s most imaginative and skillful emcees, The Show mixes his signature sharp word-play with humour in equal measure to give us a taste of what we can expect from his forthcoming and most accomplished record to date Alternative Energy (Out September 10). The beat is a big-swinging funk bombshell produced by Elgusto (Hermitude, Urthboy) who doesn’t seem to be capable of putting a foot wrong. A bold and energetic music video is in production to accompany the single … Continue reading The Tongue – The Show (Alternative Energy Sept 10)

Horrorshow Inside Story Tour – Melbourne Show Review

Jim Steps

Joey Smiles hits the Horrorshow – Inside Story Tour in Melbourne here’s what he had to say: Horrorshow and Spit Syndicate took to the stage in Melbourne on Friday night for some unforgettable live hip hop. The sold out show nearly tore the roof off The Evelyn Hotel and was testament to the growing fanbase these groups have been receiving across the country. Doors opened about 9:30pm and Melbourne local Tys opened up with some tight, original raps over some well-known instrumental tracks including Roots Manuva’s Witness The Fitness and DJ Shadow’s chilled masterpiece Midnight In A Perfect World. Spit … Continue reading Horrorshow Inside Story Tour – Melbourne Show Review
