The Los Angeles-based punk band Sour Tongue<\/strong> was formed in the early days of the 2020 pandemic by Satori Marill and John Murphy, the mission of the alternative rock, grunge and riot grrrl influenced quintet remaining the same ever since their inception: \u201cwhen it stops being fun, we\u2019ll end it.\u201d<\/em> Fusing disco with grunge, hardcore punk with country, plus much more, Sour Tongue utilise humour and a degree of sonic absurdity to convey a deeper message of angst and desperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having developed a global fanbase via four previous singles, an EP, plus a US tour with industrial rock heavyweights KMFDM, the band\u2019s bright and breezy new single \u2018I Thought You Liked Me!\u2019 was written about a near universal experience felt by girls. \u201cI wrote the song about being manipulated and lied to, getting fed up and reversing the roles,\u201d<\/em> states vocalist Marill. \u201cI wanted to talk about reactive impropriety, but with a feeling of guilt tucked beneath it, because I think a lot of people are ashamed to admit when they do something out of spite. I think anyone who has ever had their heart broken and done something stupid in return can relate to it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The single is taken from a forthcoming EP entitled \u2018Final Girl\u2019, their most personal set of songs to date. Told as a story in four parts, it is about the intersection of grief, betrayal and heartbreak, yet loving through it all. It\u2019s dark, it\u2019s angry, it\u2019s funny, it\u2019s heartbreaking. It\u2019s a horror comedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
