Dead Tooth Unleashes New Single ‘Birthday Boohoo’
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 Refused, At 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.
Bay Area beatmaker/visual artist DJ Design returns with new single “I Wanna Be Free” (Below System Records). Washes of synth collide with a dense horn arrangement and snappin’ drums. West-Coast emcee Gennessee guests on the track spitting a lyrical dissertation on the woes of a police state, racial profiling and surveillance.

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat.
As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring
characters in the game today.
