video of the week — the teeth “yellow”

When we last checked in with The Teeth, they were busy touring the U.S. and still are today. The band won’t be back on the East Coast until early next month, where they’ll continue to play live dates.

While the band has been on the road, the acclaim has been building up for The Teeth’s proper debut You’re My Lover Now. Both LAS Magazine and Popmatters think that there’s something up with the water down here in Philly. Popmatters begins their review with; “Maybe there’s something in the water in Philadelphia. Where other cites put fluoride in their pipes, does Philly have some magic powder they add to nurture incredibly off-kilter, ramshackle, amazing pop music?”

There’s definitely something in the water alright – it sucks – I think they take it from the Schuylkill River. Have to Brita that shit before putting it anywhere near my mouth. New York City has thousands of acres of protected land surrounding their water supply and Philly takes their water from a filthy river. Imagine getting your water from the Hudson! Anyway, I totally agree with both reviewers that there’s something very special going on down here, but I’m pretty sure it’s not the water.
