Dead Tooth Unleashes New Single ‘Birthday Boohoo’

Published

on

Post-punk outfit Dead Tooth is back with their latest single, ‘Birthday Boohoo’, via Greenway Records. Known for their raucous, unpolished sound, Dead Tooth has crafted a track that encapsulates their unique, rebellious spirit. The Brooklyn-based band, led by Zach Ellis (guitar/vox) and featuring James Duncan (bass), Taylor Mitchell (guitar), Ginno Tacsiat (drums), and John Stanesco (saxophone/EWI), continues to push boundaries with their signature blend of chaotic energy and punk attitude.

‘Birthday Boohoo’ has been produced by Tom Beaujour (Nada Surf, Pom Pom Squad, Juliana Hatfield) and is being released on a limited-edition 7” vinyl. The record also includes a remix by Oliver Ackermann, frontman of A Place to Bury Strangers, on the B-side, ensuring a mind-bending sonic experience. The band themselves describe the track as their “most collaborative” work yet, molded out of the contributions of each member. “It couldn’t be more of a Frankenstein-level horror unless you gave it to someone like Ollie,” they joke, perfectly capturing the eerie vibe just in time for Halloween.

With relentless touring and unforgettable live performances, they’ve earned comparisons to post-punk heavyweights like RefusedAt the Drive-In, and The Jesus Lizard. Their raw, high-energy shows, complete with wailing sax solos, have made them a must-see act in the underground scene.

For those wanting to catch the chaos live, Dead Tooth is also gearing up for an extensive European tour in November, including three dates in the UK.
