“Through big hooks and brazen lyrics, Dead Tooth’s sound has a welcome discordance. The group fronted by Zach James churn out dystopian post-punk that you might hear at a posthumous dinner party where Ian Curtis and Herman Hesse are swilling whiskey and cracking jokes. Dead Tooth’s sound brings a welcome discordance to a dystopian landscape. The self proclaimed “rodeo-core” quintet from Queens, N.Y., weave high-energy hooks, brazen lyrics and dirty sax into a refreshingly unhinged live show thats’s earned them comparisons to acts like Refused, At The Drive-In and The Jesus Lizard.
After recording their second EP Pig Pile, the pandemic disembodied the band as it did so many others. Ambitious to keep the momentum going, James rebuilt the project from the ground up. He added an EWI / sax player and relinquished live guitar duties for a frontman persona.”
