2010 was a good year for the band. They formed in the early spring and found themselves on some fun festival dates such as Great Escape, Secret Garden Party and Playgroup festival. The band finished the year in the top 5 "best new acts in Brighton" via the Brighton Music Awards and With some packed out London shows already completed this year with appearances at Playgroup Festival & Bestival confirmed, Common Tongues are getting prepped up for a busy 2011.

Having made a good name footstomping around Brighton stripped down to 2 guitars, a violin and beautiful 3 way harmonies, the full line up represents the energy and vitality the band want to communicate with their music.
