What an incredible time we’ve had recently at Casemates Recording working with the amazing Kate Harding and Common Tongue! ✨

Kate says that she’s saving the video clips of her in the studio for closer to release day 🎥. But trust us, the sweat, focus, and “shiny moments” that went into these tracks were so worth it 💪 Watch this space soon 👀

👫 FRIEND OR FOE 👫 — dropping 7.2.25!
This one’s another absolute banger from Common Tongue, recorded at Casemates with Jim working his magic behind the mixing desk 🎛️.

For the vinyl lovers out there, there’s a limited run of Lathe Cut Vinyl by Weekend Offender Records 🖤, and to celebrate the release, we’re throwing a show with Common Tongue headlining at Casemates Cafe featuring Bottomless Brunch and Salvo 🎶. Limited tickets available for this from our website. Don’t miss out!

You can also pre-save the track and grab your tickets through the link in the band’s bio, or drop a comment/DM for more info.

Exciting times ahead! 🙌
