The Los Angeles-based punk\/riot grrrl inspired band Sour Tongue<\/strong> have released a new single today entitled \u2018Company Karaoke Party\u2019 via Metropolis Records. \u201cI was inspired to write this song by the absurd lengths I\u2019ve witnessed people go to uphold a lie,\u201d<\/em> explains band co-founder and vocalist Satori Marill. \u201cThe onus of determining whether you should sympathise with \u2018me\u2019 throughout the song is placed solely on the listener because I\u2019m an unreliable narrator by design.\u201d<\/em>

Marill adds that the fast and frenetic song is “one big contradiction constructed by moments of low-stakes vulnerability, guilt-tripping, gaslighting and callous apathy. If it sounds silly, that\u2019s because it is. \u2018Company Karaoke Party\u2019 is a mandatory performance to save face with middle management, it\u2019s entitlement without sacrifice, but above all else it\u2019s meant to make you wanna dance!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sour Tongue was formed in 2020 by Marill and John Murphy, the mission of the alternative rock and grunge influenced quintet remaining the same 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 carry a deeper message of angst and desperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group have built a dedicated fanbase via several singles and two EP releases, the most recent of these being 2025\u2019s \u2018FINAL GIRL\u2019 STREAM<\/a> | BANDCAMP<\/a>, which included \u2018I Thought You Liked Me!\u2019 VIDEO<\/a> and \u2018Me-Mania\u2019 VIDEO<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
