Aotearoa New Zealand garage-rock duo Earth Tongue showed why they’re one of the most in-demand live acts in the world with a ferocious In My Room session.
Earth Tongue’s In My Room session coincided with their inclusion in our Future of Music 2026 series, chosen as one of 25 ANZ acts we believe have a bright future ahead of them.
Watch their full session above.
In an exclusive interview for our Future of Music series, they revealed one of their career highlights so far. “Supporting Osees on a mountainside in Switzerland was pretty cool!” they said.
They reflected on the ups and downs of making music today: “Musicians in 2026 need to wear more hats than ever. We’re content creators, we’re logistics experts, marketing gurus, music video directors, bedroom sound engineers. It can be hard to survive out there, so we do everything ourselves. This means we can create and control our own vision, but it can also be too much at times.”
They also told us what’s ahead for the band: “We’re excited to be sharing our music with lots of new people and seeing some fresh new places! We’re also hoping to be working on a new album at some point soon, but if the tour schedule keeps up this momentum we’re not sure when that will be.”

They’re not wrong. Between August 7th and September 13th, Earth Tongue will play a whopping 27 shows in the US, with three shows being added to the initial run to meet demand.
It’s then back to England in October for shows in Bristol, London, Brighton, and Manchester, as well as a visit to Scotland to play in Glasgow.
