‘Teeth Union’ reviews so far…
Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010
You may have seen us in the press recently, we’ve been lucky to get some column inches for ‘Teeth Union’ from the NME, Rock-Sound, Loud & Quiet, etc. as well as hitting the radiowaves. Check it out:
Online press:
“This album works as an explanation of exactly why this tense, chaotic guitar attack is always so much fun, no matter how much it hurts. It makes a hero of every kid who can turn their guitar up too loud.”
The Quietus
“Theirs is music for audiences ready to embrace tinnitus. Theirs is a racket that attracts plaudits full of adjectives like “angular”, “abrasive” and “artsy”. Which is, obviously, a brilliant thing; a messy, sketchy, scrambled puzzle of pirouetting riffs and clattering percussion, with vocals atop like rotten cherries, sticky-sweet to the touch but sure to leave a bad taste in the mouth and a pain in the guts.”
BBC
“Ice, Sea, Dead People are clearly not fans of the predictable or safe.There’s enough energy in these pre-packaged twenty-five minutes to power a small country for a year. It makes me want to throw myself across rooms and jump and jerk along with the angular, disjointed noise pouring through my speakers.”
The Line of Best Fit
“An accomplished debut album in a genre that can be very hard to ‘crack.’”
This is Fake DIY
“Keepin’ it punk, energetic and spontaneous in all areas.”
Buddyhead
“Teeth Union’s nine feedback-laden bony punk compositions played too hard and too loud with practically unintelligible lyrics are seriously pleasing things; think White Light/White Heat if it had been recorded in the 21st century by irritated art-schoolers with a budget.”
The Skinny
“Almost plumbing No Wave depths of deconstruction at times, the band’s scathing post-hardcore racket reveals an obsession with smashing both rhythmic conventions and listener expectations.”
Alternative Ulster

Word! Apparently Steve Lamacq came to our gig at the Dublin Castle (not a castle, nor is it in dublin) on tuesday and now we’re his unsigned band of the week on 6Music.
We’re honoured, obviously, so big thanks to Steve.
I’m being interviewed on the mobile tomorrow at 6.15pm so tune into 6 music to hear me mumbling inane nothings down your ear holes.
