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
