posthardcore Pianos Become The Teeth

PIANOS BECOME THE TEETH

Pianos Become the Teeth formed in late 2006 in Baltimore, Maryland. Their first release, the Saltwater EP, was released in 2008 through Doomed by Dawn Records. In early 2009 Pianos Become the Teeth released a split EP with Ezra Joyce. Their contributed track, "Creatures of Habit," was a darker song similar to the material that was recorded for their follow-up first full-length.

Pianos Become the Teeth released their debut album, Old Pride in 2009 through Blackjaw Records. They subsequently signed to Topshelf Recordings in October 2009, and reissued their debut album in January 2010 through digital media outlets and on CD. The Topshelf version of Old Pride saw a much wider release that was met with much acclaim. Andrew Kelham of Rock Sound gave the album a nine out of ten, and wrote that "With a why-just-write-a-song-when-you-can-write-an-epic attitude, the eight songs on their second record are distinguished, articulate and immersive as their juddering post-hardcore clashes with moments of Explosions in the Sky rivalling tenderness and Mogwai-esque grandeur."Writing for Alternative Press, Brian Shultz gave the album four out of five stars and said that the group has, "quietly refined their craft over the last few years into an incredibly cathartic and sporadically chilling mode. Their screamo peers--past or present--should be more than envious." Old Pride was released on vinyl in June 2010 as a joint release through Topshelf Records and Mayfly Records. In support of the album, Pianos Become the Teeth toured the US with Touche Amore and Lemuria.

In October 2010, Pianos Become the Teeth released a split EP with The Saddest Landscape through Just Say No! Records. In January 2011, the Pianos Become the Teeth had begun writing a new album, and described the new songs as being "darker and heavier" than previous material, and that they would not become "Old Pride part 2," alluding to new musical direction. Recording began on August 1, 2011 at Developing Nations Studio with producer Kevin Bernsten. Topshelf Records releaseD The Lack Long After on November 1, 2011, with a supporting tour with Touche Amore following shortly after.







Now I always see people post and talk about how a band had changed their lives or their attitude towards certain things, and always thought it was crazy and never thought that could happen. Until I heard this band, their lyrical content and style has really got to me and I just can't get enough of them. Seriously check them out.

good band, but i cant listen to them due to a certain person check out a lot like birds though, thought a lot like bird's somewhat similar to them

Wow, that first track is extremely personal. I didn't expect it to sound anything like it did (seemed like it was gonna be a post-rock track at the beginning) but it was pretty good. Not sure if I enjoy the vocals all that much, but I'm a sucker for personal lyrics so that's something I can take from it anyway.

I can definitely hear post-rock in both of those tracks - particularly the drumming - so I'll add that tag too.

Saw them live back in December, they put alot of emotion into their music and were some pretty chill dudes. I had mistaken the drummer and vocalist to be brothers because they looked so much alike haha, at least to me.

I love this band now. Dear God.

Dark Xionei I shall take your word for it

I dont really have a problem with the singer? think his vocal style suits the music great.

Also i nominated these guys for the forum header so everyone go vote when you can
