Following their debut track “MY GENERATION,” Welsh collective teethin return with their new single, “DUD,” and the announcement of their debut EP, Greed Between The Lines, set for release on October 3rd via Silent Kid Records.
Emerging as a bold, eclectic force, teethin blends the raw energy of punk with electronic and dance music. A cohesive yet diverse unit, with members from the Welsh Valleys, Athens, Ukraine, and the Philippines, teethin craft a multifaceted sound reflecting their varied origins. At a time when many artists play it safe, teethin are poised to release a thrilling maelstrom of techno, punk, and rock that defiantly stands against the status quo.
Of the single the state,
A slight continuation of ‘Lara Scoffed’, our frustration with artists and bands cosplaying a working class image. People who feel above others, be that a local in a pub who’s there every night or someone living on the streets, seem to forget that they’re merely steps away from being there themselves, it’s all circumstantial but one thing’s for certain, people in our circles are a hell of a lot closer to homelessness or alcoholism/drug addiction than they are to being well off. We wrote this song over a long period, it went through a number of versions but the lyric “penny chic” kept popping into our heads so we wanted to see it finished.
They continue,
It came from that time where Kim Kardashian decided to dress up as a pilgrim and it just sent a chill of cringe and fury down our spines. People with wealth are eternally inspired by working class art but will never want to experience the situations that breed this art. For various reasons but regardless, it irks us. Most of us in the band have struggled financially and have fallen into overdoing drugs and alcohol to cope, which just creates a vicious cycle of spending your last few pound coins on another pint or whatever. It’s not fun, it gives way to good music and inspiration if you find a way out of it sure but cosplaying these situations to push your own profit is fucked up.
