US post punk band Dead Tooth have released their new single ‘You Never Do Shit’ via Trash Casual. This is the follow up to the critically acclaimed single ‘Birthday Boohoo’, released at the end of last year and their first from their forthcoming self-titled debut album, releasing in July.
Dead Tooth is Zach Ellis (guitar/vox), and this album was made with the help of James Duncan (bass), Taylor Mitchell (guitar), Mikey Cohen (drummer) and John Stanesco (saxophone/EWI).
“Originally I wrote a demo for this song for a fictional TV band called Ex Post Facto for the Apple TV show called “City on Fire” that was based in NYC’s early 2000’s music scene. they went with something else for the disco punk B-side. Personally, I liked this demo more than my “City on Fire” one so I was actually kind of excited that I got to keep it and bring it to Dead Tooth. Zach Ellis on ‘You Never Do Shit’– MAY 2025
Dead Tooth began as a collaboration between Ellis and DIIV guitarist Andrew Bailey when both worked at the same diner in Brooklyn NY. The project soon built into a four-piece that released the EP Still Beats (2018, Five Kill Records) and Pig Pile (2022, Trash Casual) earning them acclaim from NME, Spin, New Noise and more. Since 2022 the band has put out an Audio tree session, a series of singles (including a cover of Demi Lovato’s “Cool for the Summer”) and “Birthday Boohoo” on Greenway Records, with its terrifying B-side remix from noise gods, A Place to Bury Strangers.
After a vigorous touring schedule that has escorted Dead Tooth across the eastern US multiple times over, as well as their first foray into Europe including the UK, their reputation for high-powered, celebratory shows makes them the artist of choice for a slew of shared bills few others could fit on. The band has supported theatrical thrash metal legends GWAR, sharing a fashion show afterparty with East Coast rap veteran Juellz Santana, to touring with garage punks Bass Drum Of Death. They also performed at last year’s SXSW Festival.
