Dead Tooth

Dead Tooth is an indie band that creates a melodic and hook-rich style with strong alt-rock tones, led by singer Zach Ellis, the main songwriter for the outfit, and guitarist Andrew Bailey, who also plays with DIIV. Their music has a garage-like rugged quality that is especially heightened by the intensity Ellis projects as a vocalist and Bailey's raw, expressive guitar work as he regularly shreds his way through the songs. Both leads bring a strong attack to the table, sometimes simultaneously, and the interaction between them is at the heart of the engine that drives their sound. It is passionate music that the band plays with the right amount of looseness and a sense of spontaneity.
