Tongue Scum are an Australian Grindcore unit formed in 2019 hailing from Naarm (Melbourne). A self-proclaimed power-trio they boast members from classic scene bands such as Effigy to Extinction, Grudge!, Stoning, and many, many, many more.
Occasionally, renown for their chaotic blend of toxic grind, their sound recalls bands such as Napalm Death, Pig Destroyer and Wormrot while drawing wider influence from extreme Australian acts like Captain Cleanoff, Extortion and Damaged.
The TongueScum sound combines technical savagery and fast paced riffage, served with jarring brute force. Their energetic live shows have been described as both mesmerizing and brief. Having shared the stage with classic bands such as Meth Leppard, Dark Horse, 100 Years War, The Furor, Religious Observance, Nembutolic, Vexation and Pizza Death.
The ferocious fusion of Grindcore/Powerviolence is all captured on their debut EP ‘Callously Formed’.
