We were beyond excited to check out the killer new single, “You Don’t Need A Sun Tan”, from Bristol (UK) alt-rock trio Krooked Tongue. You can listen to “You Don’t Need A Sun Tan”Here. “You Don’t Need A Sun Tan is available today , ( June 20th) The alt rock gem is taken from their debut album , out early next year.

Recorded and produced with long-time producer Josh Gallop (Sergeant Thunderhoof, Mother Vulture, Phoxjaw) at Stage 2 Studios in Bath, ‘You Don’t Need A Sun Tan’ delivers an addictive dose of nostalgia, blending driving fuzz-fueled guitar lines, explosive drums and infectious melodies, urging listeners to get out from under the weight of what’s familiar and discover the unknown.

Krooked Tongue, has a robust, electrifying and thunderous sound, that shines brightly on “You Don’t Need A Sun Tan” We really enjoyed the opening to the track as it has a “stick in your soul “ feel that we just couldn’t shake .

On the singles lyrical inspirations vocalist and lyricist Oli Rainsford states, “The idea behind ‘You Don’t Need A Sun Tan’ came about after visiting the town I grew up in one summer weekend. Meeting up with your old mates, getting leathered at the pub, and realising that everything is almost exactly how it was when you left. Sure, there’s a new wave of people, the next generation of Wetherspoons patriots, but nothing really changes and it’s a double edged sword. It’s a reminder of why you left to begin with, to see the world, get out of the bubble and head to the city. But there’s also a sense of belonging, being back with ‘your’ people. A certain comfortability that comes with heading back to the old stomping ground. It’s an ode to that message, not one that’s positive or negative, just merely an observation. I think ‘Sun Tan’ also acts as a word of encouragement for people to get out from under the weight of what they know, and discover what they don’t know yet.”

Krooked Tongue, has delivered another absolute smash with , “You Don’t Need A Sun Tan “ that you can’t miss.
