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.
