Upcoming Releases

Mid Cheshire punks Kicked In The Teeth (KITT) - Jay Concannon (vocals), Joe Penny (guitar/vocals), Mike Lovatt (bass) and Chris Mundie (drums) - bring their tight-knit, full throttle stage aggression to the comfort of your own kitchen party this spring with their new 12” full-length album ‘Watling Street Chambers’,  which will be released 9th May via Rare Vitamin Records.

You can listen to the album’s rousing lead single ‘Savour The Victory’ and watch its G’N’R-inspired music video now. Vocalist Jay Concannon says of the track, which also happens to open the full-length with vigour,: “The first song on the album is hopeful. It’s a stark reminder that life is short, and what is most important in life is often right in front of you. A song about the beginnings of the strain of age, the daily grind, and the small victories we take from each day. We have our own problems, but we are lucky to be here, and this is an acknowledgement of that, as well as a determination to break the monotonous grind.”

With members previously playing in Incisions and The Business, Kicked In The Teeth masterfully carve out melodic pop sensibilities with a relentless hardcore energy from the salt mines of Northwich. KITT are influenced by Bad Religion, Descendents, and Black Flag while staying tonally British and brutally northern, their UK82 / D-beat grip has secured sets alongside Snuff, UK Subs, GBH, Cockney Rejects and The Exploited, plus modern heavy hitters The Drowns and Wonk Unit, to name a few.

Much like their split cassette with New Hampshire punk rock outfit The Queers, KITT’s latest offering will have you in a six-string choke hold. Recorded at Pressure Drop Studios in Stockport and mixed and mastered by Joe, among the new material is three fierce singles; ‘Savour the Victory’, a stark reminder that life is short, ‘There will be Nothing’, a lesson in taking risks, and ‘Werewolves’, a feral message served as a gob full of broken fangs about distancing yourself from today’s overstimulating hype machines.
