Screamo is dead. Or at least that is what some people say. However, bands like Pianos Become The Teeth might beg to differ. The band turns the oversaturated and overproduced genre upside down with an album so powerful and so brave it can only be compared to the legends that preceded them. Mixing elements of hardcore, post rock and screamo, Old Pride breathes new life into a once decaying scene.
Pianos Become The Teeth self released their debut EP, Saltwater, in 2007. The record was met with critical acclaim as listeners were drawn to the band’s nostalgic yet unique sound. After several tours and line-up changes the band recorded Old Pride and signed to up and coming indie Topshelf Records (Defeater, My Heart To Joy).
Pianos Become The Teeth has a melodic yet uncompromising sound that showcases a diverse set of influences. Brimming with sincerity and brandishing an experimental ambiance, the band is pushing beyond the boundaries of a stale genre. Pianos Become The Teeth’s forceful style remains measured at each and every breathtaking passage. The band wields an impressive maturity wrapped together with poetic lyrics and an impassioned delivery. Screamo is dead? The skeptics might want to listen to Old Pride before making such bold proclamations.
