 "Seattle's little-known and largely unheralded Police Teeth continues to write, record, and perform some of the best indie rock around, despite the lack of financial gain, notoriety, or justice. Few are in its league. Hell, few are playing the same game."—East Bay Express "In Police Teeth we have a band that works with punk, power pop and elements of psych to give us a record that covers a lot of ground but feels cohesive; depending on the song, you could easily throw them on a playlist next to Mission of Burma, The Thermals or Future of the Left. PT slide comfortably between fist-in-face aggression and noisy melody."—Buddyhead "I like when a band takes their music seriously but aren't too into themselves to ruin it. "—Sound on the Sound When asked to describe their live show, Seattle's Police Teeth said, simply, "Loud, ragged, sweaty, hair, flying debris, mustache." When asked to describe their previous record, 2011's Awesomer Than The Devil, the East Bay Express said, simply, "To the initiated, the catchy, working-class rock of Police Teeth demands comparisons to Les Savy Fav at the top of its game, or The Thermals when they truly lock it in, or Archers of Loaf...the album is not only worth a blind buy, it's a necessity." The band's newest S/T full-length is a powerhouse of a record that showcases the trio's most relentlessly fantastic output yet. Police Teeth's flailing, wailing, angular songwriting has always been dark humor-laden, and track titles like "My V-4 Weighs A Ton", "(My Baby's Got The) Black Lung", "Where's My Fucking Hug?" and "Gifts, Knives, Adult Movies" are prime examples of the band's signature lyrical and topical smirk. This new record is no joke, however—these songs are heavy, pushy, fist-pumpy anthems with staying power. James Burns: vocals/guitar Recorded and mixed by Jackson Long (Shook Ones, Telekinesis, Om, etc.) |
