Review: 'SHARPTOOTH'
'Sister'   

-  Label: 'Fuzzkill Records'
-  Genre: 'Indie' -  Release Date: '20th October 2014'

Our Rating:
Ok, I’m in. Here’s why: the press release announces SHARPTOOTH as ‘an all-female four piece hailing from both Glasgow and the Highlands, who bonded over their love of Hole and PJ Harvey’. And ‘Sister’ evidences those influences in the best of ways: brooding and angular, it’s dark and difficult. The guitars clang over a strolling bass and nervous drum while the layered vocals build tension that ultimately breaks in a wave of angst-driven noise. It could be the lead single off the second album Solar Race will never make.

Flipside ‘Tooth & Nail’ is equally dark and angry, bleak and murky, the muted rhythms holding things together beneath a feedback drone and vocals that are beautifully disconsolate.

A menacing grunge-orientated affair, this is a release that deserves some serious attention.
