Ireland's The Altered Hours are channelling a dark, imposing sound all of their own. The five-piece take the black-clad noise pop of The Jesus and Mary Chain and add an element of the gothic, with debut album 'In Heat Not Sorry' winning fans across Europe. Heading back into the studio, The Altered Hours decided to use Dublin’s Bow Lane Studios as a base for their next venture. New EP 'On My Tongue' is incoming via Art For Blind Records and Penske Recordings, a concise demonstration of the band's advancement. Clash is able to premiere new cut 'Open Wide', a mini-masterpiece of drone pop that matches barbed wire guitars against those disembodied vocals
