Krooked Tongue Release New Single, “Nothing Ever Grows”
Today, Bristol rock trio Krooked Tongue return with their highly-anticipated new single Nothing Ever Grows. The single is one many can resonate with on a deeper level when dealing with your own demons and frustrations with oneself in their own artist abilities. Instantly from the start, the band is able to hook you in and it was perfectly crafted during production to further express the message they hope fans can connect to. Nothing Ever Grows was recorded and produced with long-time producer Josh Gallop at Stage 2 Studios in Bath, a brooding number which serves to highlight the importance of a positive mental attitude.
Describing the single, vocalist and lyricist Oli Rainsford states:
“'Nothing Ever Grows' is a right moody geezer of a song. It was one of those tunes that transpired really quickly and it just captured the essence of the mood perfectly. I think it stems from frustration with yourself when you can't finish that idea, or that lyric. It's an ode to the tortured artist. It's a splash of cold water, a slap across the face followed by a shot of whiskey. A defibrillating wake up call to say 'Hey, if you don't get yourself in a better headspace, nothing good or prosperous can come out of it', hence 'Nothing Ever Grows'. And I think that relates to every aspect of life, not just to creativity"
Krooked Tongue burst onto the scene with the release of their critically acclaimed debut EP No Vacancy Hotel in February of 2022, recorded with Josh Gallop (Phoxjaw, Mother Vulture) at Stage 2 Studios. The EP has since amassed over 200,000 streams and saw support from publications such as Ones To Watch, HardBeat Magazine and Distorted Sound.
Their second studio EP Deathproof, released May 2023, saw the start of the band’s evolution, there was a refreshed maturity to their songwriting and an evident progression in their sound. Deathproof has been streamed over 320,000 times to date and was celebrated by Louder Than War Radio, Ones To Watch, Sirius XM, BBC Introducing and many others.
August 2024 saw their biggest support tour to date, supporting Kid Brunswick on his final Dead Forever tour across the UK.
