Iron Tongue - The Dogs Have Barked, The Birds Have Flown

2013 release from the Little Rock-based Hard Blues rockers. Iron Tongue are not singing of magical, moonlit escapades. These are songs of pain, regret and motherf'ing heartache that recall everything from the proto-Metal stomp of Blue Cheer and Grand Funk to the darkest hours of Kiss, Deep Purple, Buddy Guy and Skynyrd. The band formed when a group of veteran players with diverse musical backgrounds found a common interest in the need to get down and dirty and way, way gone. Iron Tongue has spent the last three years and change playing it's soulful, heavy-amp blues steadily around the South, touring the Midwest and East Coast with Memphis kindred spirits the Dirty Streets, and sharing bills with Black Tusk, Scott Kelly, the Sword, High on Fire, Crowbar and Lita Ford, as well as fellow Arkansans Pallbearer and the Body.
