Vancouver indie-proggers Colour Tongues put their money where their mouth is with the video for their single Southbound. SAYS THE PRESS RELEASE: “Southbound tells the story of a friendship imploding under the pressures of long-standing emotional neglect and insidious hardships. “It’s about what happens when the needs and considerations of another are left untended for too long, and everyone gets left in the dust wondering what went wrong. Where did everything go Southbound?
Walk a mile in the shoes of Canadian prog indie rockers, Colour Tongues, in the new video for their electric single, “Southbound.” This intoxicating track will get you dancing like no one’s watching with hair-raising guitars, stamping drums and a warm sing-a-long chorus. It’s a blast of energy that’s impossible not to get swept up in. Watch it below and do your ears and eyes a favor.
If you're just tuning in, Colour Tongues paid a visit to our friends down at Pacific Sound Radio embedded in the front of Save on Meats in downtown Vancouver. Take a listen and hear hosts Travis and James ask us about our influences, how we came together, and how James Challis beats us with a cane at practice. We also played two never-before-heard acoustic version of two unreleased songs.

-The band
Thanks to Willem Thomas from BeatRoute for the review of out debut EP. Might be some talk of a feature on us in April... ;)
Math rock – often held in derision by some music critics and detractors, but loved dearly by its converts. On their debut EP, Vancouver four-piece Colour Tongues navigate an earnest, pleasant technical route that methodically touches most of the bases associated with the genre. Prominent math indie bands such as Minus The Bear and This Town Needs Guns makes for clear influences across the four tracks. The instrumentation, catchy, and upbeat boasts the requisite playing ability and the song writing is consistent throughout. While the production on the EP occasionally doesn’t do the band’s tight , lush melodies full justice, the release itself is a quick, wholly enjoyable listen.
