‘All Out of Time’ by Acid Tongue & Calvin Love

Exclusive video premiere of ‘All Out of Time’ by Acid Tongue. Their new EP finds the band collaborating from afar with Canadian singer-songwriter, Calvin Love; Los Angeles psych-garage staples Death Valley Girls; Freakout Records-siblings, Smokey Brights; and Brazilian artist, Libra.

Beyond the credited collaborations, the Friends on this EP also include Glenn Brigman of Triptides and Levitation Room, the vocal talents of Matan KG (Paper Idol), bass guitar sent from Australia by Dustin Bookatz (Pearl Charles), and the band’s consistent string-arranger Philip Peterson (Haim, Taylor Swift, Portugal the Man).

Led by singer/songwriter Guy Keltner, and drummer/visual-artist Ian Cunningham, Acid Tongue has been touring the world and espousing a timeless rock & roll sound with a DIY mentality since 2015. The touring band features a rotating roster of musicians from around the globe; with members based in Seattle, Paris, New York, London, Mexico City, Los Angeles, and Austin—lending fresh ears to the setlist for an ever-evolving live experience. Employing nostalgic riffs lifted straight from a forgotten jukebox and razor-sharp lyrics delivered in a childish croon, Keltner has built a large catalogue of material in a short period of time.

Guy & Ian made the best of the 2020 stay-at-home order by self-producing 9+ new songs split across two EPs. The first of these, ‘Acid Tongue & Friends: EP1’, finds the band collaborating from afar with Canadian singer-songwriter, Calvin Love; Los Angeles psych-garage staples Death Valley Girls; Freakout Records-siblings, Smokey Brights; and Brazilian artist, Libra. Beyond the credited collaborations, the ‘Friends’ on this EP also include Glenn Brigman of Triptides & Levitation Room, the vocal talents of Matan KG (Paper Idol), bass guitar sent from Australia by Dustin Bookatz (Pearl Charles), & the band’s consistent string-arranger Philip Peterson (Haim, Taylor Swift, Portugal the Man).

The songs of EP1 are a soft reflection on the past year—with lyrics celebrating all of our friends finally coming back home and ‘Take Me To Your Leader’, written during the January 6th storming of the United States Capitol, reminding us to hope for freedom & hope for change.
