Sharp Teeth

Whether your chompers are coffee-stained, over-bleached, or just nasty and yellow, here's a band that will make you grind 'em to nubs in wildly cathartic fits. The Minneapolis trio may have candy-coated molars, but they've got fangs like a fierce, human-eating sea monster possibly from hell. Sharp Teeth know how to do grunge. They've got the thrills, the chills, and the anti-frills. They've got three chords down pat and two-minute songs clipped to perfection. And Erica Krumm sings like she just blew the dust off her Beauty and the Beat cassette, but she doesn't want you to know it. Best yet, they're not going to come after you with one of those freaky drills. Maybe. With the Teeth, Fuck Knights, and Ghettos Burning. 21+.
