So Is The Tongue is a progressive metal three-piece from central New Jersey, United States. The band was formed in the autumn of 2005 by Ron Varod (guitar/vocals), Justin Thouret (drums) and Matt Nolan (bass). Since winter of 2006, So Is The Tongue has been playing clubs, bars, basements and other DIY spaces in tri-state area with such bands as Kayo Dot (with whom guitarist/vocalist Ron Varod is a live member), Cleric, Behold…The Arctopus, Unearthly Trance, East of the Wall, Dysrhythmia, Bloody Panda, A Fucking Elephant, and the Jerry Only fronted “Misfits” to name a few. So Is The Tongue recorded their debut album “Torpid & Blight” over the course of a year on the top floor of a Jersey Shore mansion with good friend, and honorary 4th member, (Asian) Steve Ryan. The album was released in 2007 digitally and as a small CD-R pressing before its official release on Sound Devastation Records in 2009. In January 2011, shortly after Nolan’s departure, So Is The Tongue (and new bassist Alex Levey) ventured into the studio with Colin Marston (Gorguts, Krallice) to record their follow up, “A Child of Divorce”. This record pushed the band in new exciting directions, and saw its release in January 2012 in a limited edition of 12″ vinyl. So Is The Tongue have been on haitus since autumn 2012. {Biography edited from http://www.last.fm/music/So+is+the+Tongue}
