Sharptooth Announce North American Tour

Limbs and Wristmeetrazor will join hardcore up-and-comers Sharptooth on their North American tour.

Sharptooth Announce North American Tour

We're obviously big fans of dinosaur-obsessed hardcore act Sharptooh -- they easily made our list of the 50 best hardcore bands of the last ten years, and watching them lay waste to a small Brooklyn dive bar in our K! Pit was one of the more amazing things we've ever experienced. So it's exciting to hear that they'll be taking their show on the road this November, with Limbs and Wristmeetrazor in tow.

Get political and paleontological at one of the following dates:

In the stone-faced world of hardcore, walking the line between serious and fun can be tough, but Sharptooth make it look easy. Led by indefatigable vocalist Lauren Kashan, the Baltimore band may have taken their name from the T-Rex in The Land Before Time, and may use dinosaur imagery on tons of their merch and promo materials (the title of their 2017 album Clever Girl being an obvious reference to Jurassic Park). But on tracks like Can I Get A Hell No and Give ‘Em Hell Kid, Sharptooth confront dire issues like misogyny and racism as mercilessly as any other band today. If their performance in our Brooklyn K! Pit taught us anything, it’s that this band will bite the hand off of anyone that fucks with it -- and have a blast doing so.

If you haven't already -- and hell, even if you have -- watch them play our K! Pit below:
