I'm quite sure why, but for some inexplicable reason, Liar's Tongue is an unsigned band. Based in Salt Lake City, the crossover hardcore band released one of my favorite debut albums of 2017 with Threat of Intellect. Though they pack "holy shit!" kinds of guitar riffs in each of the eight tracks on the album, the groove parts are what really sealed the deal for me. Listen below and tell me differently!
I'll definitely be covering Liar's Tongue on the site in the near future, but in the meantime, I asked guitarist Tyler Statler for a few quick tips for some newer bands from Salt Lake City that should be on our radar. Check them all out and don't sleep on Liar's Tongue!
