Burnt Tongues ‘Setting the Tone’

London based trio Burnt Tongues have released their second single ‘Setting the Tone’. The band consisting of Chris Kelsey (vocals, bass), Jack Charles (guitar) and Piers Berryman (drums) have recruited a loyal fan base with ambitious live performances and debut single ‘Twist & Shake’. The band are set to release a stream of singles and collaborations throughout the year and anticipate an album in early 2020.

‘Setting the Tone’ is an intoxicating swagger-dunked alternative number. Burnt Tongues intensify their blistering sound with sharp guitars which slice and shrill through the buoyant punchy drum and elastic bass foundation. This blustery track is lock and loaded, ready for repeat plays. The infectious melody drifts on a cool pop tone. The warm lead vocals exude a smooth rock ‘n’ roll vibe while the shouted backing vocals injecting a whack of punk into the mix. ‘Setting the Tone’ is an exhilarating track brimming with charm and kinetic instrumentation, making Burnt Tongues ones to keep an eye on.
