Anybody can have an existential crisis, but not everybody can make it fun to listen to. Like the bombastic SCTV horror character with whom they share a name, Doctor Tongue works in vibrant 3D. The Ontario-based sextet finds inspiration in genres as diverse as rock, funk, soul, hip-hop and country. Formed near the end of the COVID quarantine, the group made a grand debut in May 2022 at Come Together Music Festival in Durham, Ontario. Tragedy struck not a year later when guitarist and founding member Dylan Matthews tragically passed away. Instead of curling up in the fetal position and going to radio silence, the unit reconfigured itself, rallying in a style as bold and triumphant as vocalist/keyboardist George Panagopoulos's top hat and funky shades. The current lineup is rounded out by Mark McMaster on drums, Tom Bigas on percussion, Johnny Nixon on guitar, Liam Brown on bass, and Jethro Mann on guitar. With six singles under their belt, the plan is to release a new song every two months - telling the story of Doctor Tongue in song and video until the results can be compiled into the group's first full-length album.

• APRIL 20th: Their next single "Higher" Is Out" 

• June 2025: The first 7 Singles become a full fledged LP entitled: 3D House Of Mayhem
