Sweet Pianos Become The Teeth write up in the Free Times for their show in Columbia, SC. Thanks Bryan!

Pianos Become the Teeth — Baltimore quintet Pianos Become the Teeth arrives at semi-secret underground venue The House of Hardcore brandishing not only a wiry and frantic brand of post-hardcore, but also wielding its just-released sophomore LP, Old Pride. In this band, the spirit of emotionally charged late-‘90s post-hardcore not only lives, but grows. The band’s two guitarists wind textured chords and snaking melodic lines over a bruising rhythm section and desperately screamed vocals that seem to be torn from much deeper than the throat and fall into some kind of melody as if by accident. A frequent critique of emotional hardcore  — OK, emo — is that it never grows up. Pianos Become the Teeth just proves that it never gets old.
