TAG: TOP SHELF RECORDS

I never cared that much about this band. I even had an album on my computer that I had no memory of. Any time I ran across it I never remembered anything about it. 

Topshelf, a label that is currently killing it, is releasing the band’s first full-length and has a track from it on their website. I loved it.

I went back and gave their older material a real chance, and turns out I love that too. 

You can get three of the band’s four eps for free on their Bandcamp page. Real physical copies of those releases, as well as the new one, can be purchased at the Topshelf website, and a bunch of other great stuff.  

I’m going to do something I hate when reviewers do, compare a band to another band, then ride that single train of thought right into the ground….

Drive like Jay who? Few bands (that don’t have John Reis in them) have pulled of the Drive Like Jehu sound as well as Cut Teeth, right down to me getting distracted and turning it off before the album is over.

With that said, Cut Teeth are by no means a Jehu cover/rip-off band. They have a great rock/punk thing going on with touches of hardcore, which I guess could also be a description of Drive Like Jehu.

Similarities to other things aside, I truly do like this album quite a bit, and the Ben Sears art is a nice bonus. 

Stream the whole album here. Or buy it on vinyl here.
