Fresh off the back of the release of ‘Castles’, alt-rock trio LOOSE TOOTH reveal their second single of 2018, ‘AXIS’. An aggressive response to the woes of the modern age, ‘AXIS’ is out now on digital platforms via Undead Collective.
Check out the lyric video for ‘AXIS’ below!
The band comment on the new single:
“AXIS is a song about the way we each deal with corporate oppression, in a world where changing the status quo is impossible, the only way to survive is to cope. We each have different mechanisms for coping and AXIS is ours.
Angry and bitter as we may be, you can build a life. We’ve done that through getting on as best we can in the daily grind and accessing our negative emotions creatively through music. Hopefully this comes across in the song and other people can engage with it, plus it’s one of our heaviest tracks filled with every riff we could come up with. Catharsis through aggression can be productive it turns out.”
With influences of old favourites Reuben and Refused, LOOSE TOOTH weave emotion-fuelled post-hardcore with upbeat melodies to carve a nostalgic but fresh sound. 2017 saw the trio release their self-titled mini-album, which charted at #93 in the iTunes UK Rock Chart, and tour alongside UK punks Drones. Keeping the momentum going the band released standalone single ‘Castles’ earlier this year, which saw support from Kerrang! Radio presenter Alex Baker who said they have “such a vibe.”
LOOSE TOOTH will be accompanying their label mates Brightlight City on tour in October (12-19) in support of the new single.
