Hot on the heels of last year’s debut album (now finally released on vinyl) here are three tasty new tunes from Cheshire powerhouse Kicked In The Teeth. Alongside bands such as Idles or Pigs x7, KITT have taken the roots of the Hardcore punk sound and shaken the fucker so hard that it becomes twisted and angular whilst retaining the original spit and sawdust.

Coming into the choruses and the guitars are fully unleashed, creating a nice wall of power. Poison Idea, Motorhead or Turbonegro are names that spring to mind.
