I saw Wimps back in November open for Wax Idols and the Terry Malts . They rocked like they already knew what the hell they were doing even though I think that it was only their first or second show. Wimps are a trio. Rachel Ratner plays guitar, sings and makes cool maps . Matt Nyce plays bass and draws . Dave Ramm plays drums and makes pizzas. Wimps are raw power with nothing in the way. It's punk rock the way it use to be; short, [...]
Some days you want perfect sound, and some days you want something that was recorded in a bucket. Meth Teeth split up last year. They are no more, they have all fallen out etc. Here's one of their singles, Bus Rides from 2008. Stripped back, basic rock forms, loads of lo-fi fuzziness. Very appealing. Given the state of Mark E Smith's mouth these days, it's quite appropriate that this Portland-based band had a sound not too dissimilar to mid-'80s Fall. Lots of boom and bombast. That'll be the bucket [...]
Here are a couple new tracks from Meth Teeth put out by the nice people overseas at Split Tapes . The three-way split contains four Meth Teeth tracks, one Male Bonding cover and a Mazes 10 min jamfest, sounds like a smörgåsbord of fun. The cassette is limited to 150 so get your hands on it quickly. Meth Teeth - I Was Wrong Meth Teeth - My Hearts Heart
Meth teeth gross me out (sorry meth-heads). Big yellowed chompers rife with blackened holes dentists across the country struggle to comprehend. And you would think that a band named Meth Teeth would exude a similar sense of digusting. Yet, this shit is kind of happy. There's a jangly, acoustic sunshine pop to this music. A sort of [...]
Pic: Forests Of Azure Ryan Davis - Spicyal Sound ( buy ) It's well documented around here my love for Ryan Davis ' productions. This progressive tech house gem of his has just been featured on Ivan Smagghe 's compilation for Live At Robert Johnson , following in the footsteps of Chloe and Prins Thomas... all essential of course. Sticking with the Live At Robert Johnson label is this taken from a 12" earlier on [...]
Dutchess & the Duke | Dead Ghosts | Meth Teeth at the Crocodile - 9 October 2009 Listening to the Dutchess and the Duke punk rock might not be the first thing that comes to mind. On the surface, they are two folkies with acoustic guitars singing harmony laden songs. The punk attitude comes out in fits and spurts though. They had begun to play I Am Just a Ghost which starts out quiet before roaring into a haunting harmonic crescendo and the [...]
Portland's Meth Teeth recently released their full length record Everything Went Wrong . Surprisingly enough, Mattey Hubele and company found time to release the record despite MTV's Portland invasion and a handful of other musical projects. Hubele is a busy dude these days, acknowledging however that Meth Teeth has been taking up most of his time. The band's playfully dirty aesthetic is heard throughout the record, a sort of stylistic trademark I come to think of when listening to up and comers from the Pacific Northwest. Huebele's folk roots can be heard from time to [...]
The year 2009 will be written in music history as the year of lo-fi garage/noise rock. There are countless things that can be said on how this noise is a gimmick and why it's revivalist bullshit, but I don't want to be a buzzkiller, as countless no talent hacks have already started to bore people with their lo-fiism. Yet I have to sneak two bands before the doors are closed. First one is Portland's Meth Teeth . You can't but laugh when you hear the ingenious band name. Everything Went Wrong on Woodsist is [...]
![[New MP3s] Meth Teeth, At Swim Two Birds, A Grave With No Name, Sun Araw](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2018089_lg.jpg)
Meth Teeth are based out of Portland and there sure doesn't seem to be a hell of a lot written about them. From what I've gathered they began as the one-man folk project of Mattey Hubele and Kyle Raquipiso later joined the band. So, a two man band I guess and they sure as hell can make quite a bit of noise. 2009 sees the band release their first full length Everything Went Wrong . There are only a few traces of folk here but what is evident throughout is some well executed lo-fi garage pop/rock. Touches of pop [...]
Meth Teeth - Never Been to Church Woodsist have found another quality lo-fi act in Portland duo Meth Teeth, who release their debut album Everything Went Wrong today in the UK - a barrage of twisted pop, rough garage and drugged-out aesthetics. The Grandchildren of Nuggets generation continues... Buy MySpace Photo by Valentin.Ottone , licensed under Creative Commons
Meth Teeth deliver on the promises made with their early tapes and 7"s, wrapping huge riffs in a layer of gristle and gravel to keep things from getting to friendly. A few of the tracks that appeared on the Night People tape posted here a while back return on Everything Went Wrong but with a little bump in fidelity and a slight window of clarity, but mind you only slightly. As corrosive as their namesake, the band take hold of the lo-fi wave storming the tape circuit and fling it through a rickety four track, choosing off the [...]

Meth Teeth - Everything Went Wrong Out now on Woodsist Meth Teeth - "This Is Not My Home" I didn't have it in this week's new release list because it wasn't slated to be out until 9/15, but Meth Teeth 's new LP Everything Went Wrong is in fact out now . Just swing by your friendly neighborhood record store (if it still exists) and you'll probably find a [...]
Anyone who watched that Louis Theroux documentary last night will probably be avoiding going anywhere near the crystal stuff, but when it's Woodsist doing the nudging it might be worth thinking twice about Meth Teeth . Luckily Jeremy and bros haven't turned the label into a chemical factory just yet, but instead are still consistently slinging fading soft-focus melodies cut with dischord and distortion to buzz-starved kids worldwide - as exemplified by the full-length debut cooked up in the kitchen of the Portland dentally deficient slackers and set for release everywhere through the [...]
Portland's Meth Teeth show a darker, grittier side of themselves on this Night People re-release of their Indian Spirits Demo (listed here as a S/T cassette). The band has previously issued a 7" on Sweet Rot and has a ramshackle debut scheduled on Woodsist but here they subdue their catchiness a bit in favor of a few driving nuggets that spread thick. Overtones of nineties luminaries crouch in guitar lines that lay back lazy but still topple listeners with their leaden sheen and subtle crackle. The tape is a good entry point to a band that has only [...]
Meth Teeth - A Thousand Regrets People say stuff about shit sounding bands like Meth Teeth like 'if they don't care how they sound then why should WE?' but when you sound this much like a garbage dump it's a moot point. Portland has lots of cardboard boxes and pine trees for guitars to reverberate against, and sometimes they back up against the other side of the fence in yr back yard, making it lean over slightly as they peer in, wondering why you stopped playing that folk out amongst them. [ Meth Teeth [...]
Ok I'll admit it. This whole post started here, on You Ain't No Picasso , but it somehow turned into something completely different so while I think YANP for the Intelligence track that totally slays one of the crappiest tracks on the entire Magnetic Fields' "69 Love Songs" boxed set, which I love, srsly I do...I have only myself and my wreckless sleep deprivation to thank for the final outcome. Which isn't very terrific anyway. Except for the songs you can grab below and all the gnarly tour dates they that the Intelligence apparently need help filling. First thing's [...]
