teethin, indeed have a very interesting back story, vocalist James Minas was Raised by punk-era parents, with members from the Welsh Valleys to Athens, Ukraine, and the Philippines, Their debut album touches on classism, cultural apathy, and political blame. The band dropped their debut EP Greed Between The Lines on October 3rd via Silent Kid Records.

Says teethin: “We were sat in the pub one time and heard a group of middle aged white men talking about how Katie Hopkins and Trump say it how it is. We started chatting about how these people are idolised and then others are almost manipulated to put the blame on what they don’t fully understand – be it down to ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or religion. Sometimes it feels like we’re just ants crawling over each other arguing amongst ourselves while being laughed at and spat on by the upper classes. We wrote this after that with the image of someone throwing shapes, like dancing in ignorance while the world burns around them kinda lodged in our heads. It’s a weird feeling and extremely frustrating.”

Opening track “THROWIN SHAPES” looks at the common ignorance we overhear in the day-to-day, and how the blame for our problems are put on the most marginalised people in our society. “We were sat in the pub one time and heard a group of middle aged white men talking about how Katie Hopkins and Trump say it how it is.” Minas explains. “Sometimes it feels like we’re just ants crawling over each other arguing amongst ourselves while being laughed at and spat on by the upper classes”. With an image of someone throwing shapes, like dancing in ignorance while the world burns around them, it’s a track to expel the frustration they felt.
