Pianos Become The Teeth
Bio
Pianos Become The Teeth has a melodic yet uncompromising sound that brings to mind such diverse and influential bands as Thursday, Envy and City of Caterpillar. Brimming with sincerity and brandishing an experimental ambiance, the band is pushing beyond the boundaries of a stale genre. Mixing elements of screamo, hardcore as well as post rock, Old Pride breathes new life into a once decaying scene.
Press
“Their screamo peers — past or present — should be more than envious.”
-Alternative Press (4/5)
“The kind of band that allow you to feel young, nervous and excited about music again. Powerful, majestic, important and truly fantastic from start to finish.”
-Rock Sound (9/10)
“An eight song powerhouse of unabashed hardcore and screamo ...impressively devastating.”
-Bedwetting Cosmonaut
“...fucking amazing.”
-Indie Rock Reviews (9.2/10)
“We've been looking forward to the opportunity to deal with an album labeled screamo without having to put quotation marks around it — taking the time to simultaneously mimic the gesture with our hands.”
-Strange Glue (8 out of 10)
“...[A] ferocious album right from the start.”
-Basic Text
“Old Pride ...is a more cohesive, mature musical statement. The percussion pummels you as the guitars schizophrenically shift and mold from pretty, delay-laden passages to crushing riffs with wild abandon that take directions completely different from what you were expecting to hear next.”
-Chug Life
“Finally, the screamo genre has moved forward again.”
-Deckfight
“[T]his is just a great album all the way around.”
-Aversion

Whoa! Bands we’ve worked with past & present collide on one awesome show:
Baltimore: Do NOT miss Pianos Become The Teeth, Defeater, Sainthood Reps & Octaves playing Ottobar tomorrow!! I’m to understand their are less than 50 tickets left and that Pianos will have their exclusive variant of their split 7” with Touche Amore available.
another poster coming up, this time for Pianos Become the Teeth?s hometown show at the end of the month. This will also be a limited edition of 40 posters for sale at the show. 2 color screen print on 80lb 12.5x19? speckled paper. Any extras after the show will be available from my webstore.
This is gonna be a real good jammy.
These started shipping Friday! The shirts aren?t in for the package deals yet, so those orders are still on hold a little bit longer. If you haven?t picked it up you still can in our store.
Also, we?ve been randomly throwing in some TA / PBTT winter 2011 tour posters that we found some extra?s of in some of the orders.
Howabout the video Max Moore did for Touché Amoré?s ?Gravity, Metaphorically?? The end is unreal good.
If you haven?t yet, you can buy the vinyl / package deals OR buy the digital / stream it for free.
The response to this Touche Amore / Pianos Become The Teeth split has been UNREAL. Thank you! Just a heads up: record bundles, package deal exclusive colors and the split halves variants are all sold out with the last copies of the exclusive gold variant about to be gone. All orders come with an immediate download which includes free courtesy tracks from Caravels & Octaves.
Buy the vinyl / package deals OR buy the digital / stream it for free.
Order the record on vinyl, exclusive shirts, package deals, bundles and more at the Topshelf store (instant downloads of the record with free bonus tracks from Caravels and Octaves)
