Dead Tooth - Dead Tooth [Clear Vinyl] (Gry) (Smok) Vinyl Record

Dead Tooth's sound brings a welcome discordance to a dystopian landscape. The self-proclaimed "rodeo-core" quintet from Queens, NY weaves high-energy hooks, brazen lyrics, and dirty sax leads into a refreshingly unhinged version of "post-punk" that has earned them comparisons to acts like Refused, At the Drive-In, and The Jesus Lizard. Since the release of their sophomore EP Pig Pile on Trash Casual, the band has put out two original singles, "Sporty Boy" and "Electric Earth," earning praise from NME and SPIN magazine. They most recently dropped a scintillating trash punk cover of Demi Lovato's "Cool for the Summer," produced by Jeff Berner of Psychic TV. Their next release will be a seven-inch single. Side A is the crowd-favored odyssey "Birthday Boohoo," a five-minute high-energy assault on the senses. Produced by Tom Beaujour (Nada Surf, Juliana Hatfield) the track knits jazz, psych-rock, and post-punk into a frazzled narrative about the horrors of encountering your own surprise birthday party on a heroic dose of mushrooms. The B-Side, a demonic remix by A Place to Bury Strangers, pulls you deeper into the hellish trip with a soundscape like something John Carpenter cooked up in an acid lab. The 7" is due out in the fall of 2024, accompanied by extensive touring of Europe, the UK, and the US.
