ALBUM DESCRIPTION
Following the buzz of WEDGE's debut, the group now unveils
their eagerly awaited follow-up "Killing Tongue" ...and it truly
kills! Although also deeply rooted in the rock'n'roll of the late 60s &
early 70s, this album clearly is a strong progression from its precursor,
presenting a multicolored spectrum of sounds and more diverse songwriting.
Power trio-untypical arrangements and instruments like electric sitar, clavinet
and harpsichord among others are accompanying especially some of the new
psychedelia soaked tunes. But of course you can expect plenty of good old fuzz
guitar and Hammond
organ driven material as well.
Killing Tongue was recorded & mixed at LowSwing Studios
in Berlin by
Guy Sternberg and mastered by Brian Lucey at Magic Garden Mastering in
California/USA.
For fans of: Led Zeppelin, Wolfmother, Deep Purple, The
Raconteurs, Humble Pie, The Black Crowes, Black Sabbath
BIOGRAPHY
Since the release of their long sold out debut, WEDGE are
definitely an integral part of the European Rock scene. Over a short time the
group managed to establish a steadily growing fan base by playing nearly up to
200 shows since 2014 in numerous countries such as Spain, Italy, Portugal,
France, Holland, Norway, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Poland, Czech
Republic, Belgium, England, Greece, Israel and of course Germany. This includes
famous festivals such as Bukta Open Air, Desert Fest, Stoned from the
Underground, etc., and support gigs for bands such as Fu Manchu (US), Blues
Pills (SE), Orchid (US), The Flying Eyes (US), Lucifer (UK), Pontiac (US), Simo
(US), to name but a few.
WEDGE was born into the spotlight in 2014. The trio was
founded in Berlin
by guitarist/singer Kiryk Drewinski (ex-Liquid Visions & ex-The Magnificent
Brotherhood), drummer Holger “The Holg” Grosser & bassist/organist Dave
Götz and named itself after the first stone tool of human history. Their sound
is accordingly archaic, extremely effective, "made from solid rock"
and, when used correctly, causes fire ... especially live! WEDGE blends mainly
elements of classic rock, 60s garage and some Psychedelic with a proper dose of
joy while playing.
Even before the band decided on a name, their first studio
album was recorded (originally planned to be a demo) and released on the Italian
label "Heavy Psych Sounds" in September 2014. The LP was already sold
out after a short time and was very popular among the dancers, as well as the
writers. Thus, the three multi-instrumentalists are frequently credited with
refreshingly catchy song writing, which outshines their peers of similar genre.
This also gave WEDGE some radio airplay early on. One of the group's greatest
strengths, however, is experienced live.
Just recently the band recorded their new studio album
"Killing Tongue".
