Kicked In The Teeth’s new single ‘There Will Be Nothing’ is out today digitally and on limited edition CD / cassette via Rare Vitamin Records. Watch the video now. Vocalist Jay Concannon says “The premise of the song is about living in the moment. We can spend all the time in the world trying to look for a deeper meaning in the world and our place in it, and it’s fine to do so, but the feeling of forever barking up the wrong tree will always be prevalent. Take risks, have fun, live for now.”
Mid Cheshire punks Kicked In The Teeth (KITT) – their line-up completed by Joe Penny (guitar/vocals), Mike Lovatt (bass) and Chris Mundie (drums) – bring their tight-knit, full throttle stage aggression to the comfort of your own kitchen party this spring with their new 12” full-length album.
‘Watling Street Chambers’, which will be released 9th May via Rare Vitamin Records, is a veritable celebration of the band’s essence. Much like their split cassette with New Hampshire punk rock outfit The Queers, KITT’s latest offering will have you in a six-string choke hold. Recorded at Pressure Drop Studios in Stockport and mixed and mastered by Joe, among the new material is new track ‘There Will Be Nothing’, previously-released lead single ‘Savour The Victory’, which is a stark reminder that life is short and comes complete with G’N’R-inspired music video, and the forthcoming ‘Werewolves’ – a feral message served as a gob full of broken fangs about distancing yourself from today’s overstimulating hype machines. Its title track is about being in a band with your mates, getting the chance to play some amazing cities, travel to some cool places, make new friends, drink and just generally have a great time. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the positivity that radiates from the album’s metaphorical pores.
With members previously playing in Incisions and The Business, Kicked In The Teeth masterfully carve out melodic pop sensibilities with a relentless hardcore energy from the salt mines of Northwich. KITT are influenced by Bad Religion, Descendents, and Black Flag while staying tonally British and brutally northern, their UK82 / D-beat grip has secured sets alongside Snuff, UK Subs, GBH, Cockney Rejects and The Exploited, plus modern heavy hitters The Drowns and Wonk Unit, to name a few.
The band will showcase ‘Watling Street Chambers’ at grassroots music venue The Salty Dog, Northwich, before playing the Rebellion Festival and more this summer.
