Converge are in the studio right now, and have just announced a two-week tour that will kick off on April 1. And in case you're retarded, that obviously means they're going to have completed their new album sometime in March. (Unless they're doing some Metallica-esque "Escape from the Studio" deal, but I find that unlikely.) [...]
Hevy Festival has announced its first fifteen bands for 2012 - they are Converge, Will Haven, Protest The Hero, Deaf Havana, Verse, The Chariot, A Wilhelm Scream, Deez Nuts, Set Your Goals, Trapped Under Ice, Pianos Become The Teeth, Balance and Composure, Sharks, Last Witness, and Crocus. Sweeeeeeet. When we went to Hevy last year, we were inspired by the close proximity of Port Lympne Wild Animal Park to ask Greg Puciato about Jurassic Park. As you do. If you haven't seen it already, check out the video: [...]

Dopo aver letto il pezzo di Kekko su Bastonate , ho subito gridato ANCHE IO! Ed ecco quindi la storia d'amore tra me e i dischini. Ciao a tutti, mi chiamo Lenny e ho un problema. Sono un collezionista e sono ossessivo compulsivo in maniera, a volte, preoccupante. Ho cominciato da bambino aspettando che tutti i mercoledì mia madre mi portasse la dose settimanale di Topolino, per poi passare, alle medie, a Dylan Dog, a Videogirl Ai e all'ondata manga della seconda ora fino alle calzamaglie di Marvel e Image, al [...]

This year I delved through nearly every album I listened to in 2011 to pick out my personal cream of the crop. This is probably my most comprehensive list of "best of" songs I've done for BWC thus far...Hope you guys enjoy. The top albums of the year should follow shortly! If there are any mislabeled, mis-tagged links, let me know and I'll get it fixed. I wouldn't be surprised if I muddled through a few misclicks or something trying to copy and paste everything over Tim Kasher // [...]
On Pianos Become the Teeth's sophomore LP, the band sports all the qualities I look for in a screamo group. However, they stop short of separating themselves from many of the bands in this style. WATCH THE REVIEW

It's a plight generally confined to the fanboys, the critics, the librarians of popular music, but occasionally, something happens, and you start to want to reassess your tried and trusted pigeonholes with a conviction that wasn't there before. I don't think I'm ashamed of my use of those pigeonholes. My business is words more than anything else, and so I like having words to call things by, even if they do end up becoming misinterpreted, warped, loaded, and reviled, which is how this whole situation arose. Pianos Become The Teeth , as evidenced first by last [...]

I got my hands on a copy of Pianos Become The Teeth new record The Lack Long After this past weekend. I've listened to little else since. For those not following, the record documents the profound and painful loss lead singer Kyle Durfey experienced in his dad's passing. The season of continues. You've been warned, this record will break your heart. STREAM // THE LACK LONG AFTER

California post-hardcore band Touche Amore are set to kick off their U.S. tour.

"Topshelf Records will release the new record from Baltimore, MD rock band Pianos Become The Teeth on November 1st. Titled The Lack Long After , the album was recorded by Kevin Bernsten at Developing Nations Studio, where the band's previous effort Old Pride was recorded. 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 [...]

An awesome month deserves an equally awesome mix with some awesome artwork provided by an awesome man... Shouts to Mr. Hull himself for providing it. I don't think this really needs any more of an intro so jump in. ZIP // OCT 2011 01 // PJ Harvey // Let England Shake 02 // Tennis // Tell Her No (Zombies Cover) 03 // La Dispute // King Park 04 // Lydia // [...]

All critiques I've heard before have been nothing but overwhelmingly positive in support of Pianos Become The Teeth's new LP The Lack Long After , due out Nov. 1st. The band opted for the whole tour documentation thing on their new video previewing the cathartic "I'll Be Damned" . This album doesn't sound like it'll be easing any seasonal depression around these parts. VIDEO // I'll BE DAMNED

Pianos Become The Teeth are finally back with a highly anticipated full-length. The Lack Long After is out November 1st via Topshelf. They're previewing a new song entitled "Spine" now. You can grab that below, then grab your pre-order here MP3 // SPINE
New scenes start with a bunch of like-minded people who want to create something new because they're unhappy with what they've already got. This is #UKSWELL.
It was Pianos Become The Teeth's first ever show in the UK so we popped down to the Purple Turtle in Camden to get blown away. PUFF.

On Old Pride Baltimore, Maryland's Pianos Become The Teeth puts an interesting and refreshing spin on screamo by fleshing out their chaotic bursts and screamed vocals with atmospheric post-rock and what could almost be called straightforward hardcore (or at least post-hardcore) with moments that even remind me of what you might hear on early 90's Touch & Go releases. These eight songs are technical but the guitars always remain on the mathy and emo side of the equation rather than crossing over into the world of metal. With music like this there's always the [...]
Topshelf Records (Defeater, My Heart To Joy, Pianos Become The Teeth) is stoked to announce the signing of We Were Skeletons from Lancaster, PA. The label will release the band's newest Self-Titled album on June 29th on LP and CD format. Look for pre-orders to begin around the first of May. We Were Skeleton's brand of screamy, chaotic hardcore should appeal to long-time fans of the genre. The album was recorded with Will Killingsworth (Orchid, Ampere) at Dead Air Studios and is the band's greatest accomplishment to date. The band will be playing MACRoCk this upcoming weekend and also has [...]

The latest from Topshelf Records is "Old Pride", the debut full-length from Baltimore, MD's Pianos Become the Teeth. I had never heard this band before, but was immediately won over by their fusion of tactful "post-rock" textures and absolutely stellar "screamo" (or whatever you want to call it). So expect just a little [...]

Pianos Become The Teeth Old Pride Topshelf Records , 2010 Pianos Become The Teeth: "Filial" Surprised at this release, like the time I went to the mall and the pretzels weren't stale. Like that time. I say "stale" because that's my new fear in this genre--the screamo genre, essentially. It catapulted up the ranks (did it not?) of popularity for the young set, a steady fad of the early 2000s, bands spreading from each and every way like unwanted [...]
