‘Snake Tongue’ kicks off with raw, scratchy riffs and stomping beats. From the get-go, Babe Punch bash out an in-your-face, edgy track with plenty of teenage girl-power. It’s a verbal attack on ‘just another little boy’ who they vow to ‘bite back’…like I said, they scream snarky girl-power. The song is driven by grungy doubled vocals and snarling guitar, with some feedback and hissing thrown in.

If this is what the young Nottingham-based girls can come up with so early in their musical journey, who knows where their talents will take them – their sound is mature already, a promising kick-start for the future.
