Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There is nothing common or ordinary about The Common Tongues. The Brighton band knows how to extend their reach and go beyond the normal boundaries that can be artificially enforced with a studio setting. If a band or artist can sound just as interesting, quirky and simply inspiring live as they can whilst mixers are around, the very machines that produce the sometimes, not always, contrived, then they must be worth checking out and telling people about in the pubs and clubs afterwards.
