About Us Slipping Tongue
When Slipping Tongue had their first practise and wrote their first song, in their school music room in early 2002, they knew they had stumbled across a very unique and original sound.
Influenced heavily by System Of A Down, Snot, Pantera and Tool, this four-piece hard rock group, lead by an immensely talented female vocalist, began stunning audiences.
Since then Slipping Tongue has released three EPs entitled Running For Words, Hypocrite and Grip the Fist. This is how they have begun making an impact on the world around them

Have opened for Goodshirt, Dogs On Prozac, Blatherskite (From Melbourne), Chuganaut, Agent, Remote, Savant and more.
Have recently recorded two more singles at Area 51 with Mark Pavletich Wont You Say and Grip the Fist
Have had their EP picked as Demo of the Week on The Rock FMs Axe Attack and is being played frequently on the show. The Axeman selected both Wont You Say and Grip the Fist in consecutive Rip It Ups as songs hes digging at the moment.

With a sound described by one reviewer as "metallic bump & grind worked into a glorious frenzy," and highlighted by Jennie's singing (which "has rich strong tonality, sometimes pure as a bell, yet other times roaring with gravel in the chest"), Slipping Tongue are increasingly being mentioned in local music circles as one of the rising stars of the New Zealand rock scene. Mike Mather Rotorua Daily Post

SLIPPING TONGUE are part of the future sound of Aotearoa there is a future for these young people and I [encourage] airtime to help spread the love for the TONGUE! SLIPPING TONGUE are energy, vibrancy and brightness in a music spectrum, which is increasingly becoming black and white.

This is one band that does not disappoint and by all rights should be snaffled up by a major label then turned into a worldwide rock phenomenon! Paul Martin aka The Axeman - The Rock radio
