Starting off the first full week of August with a brand new edition of Artist Spotlight! Today, we head down south to Louisiana and uncover the groove infected sounds of Royal Teeth. The band consists of Joshua Wells on bass, Gary Larsen on vocals and guitar, Nora Patterson on vocals, Josh Hefner on percussion, Stevie Billeaud on guitar, and Andrew Poe on vocals, keys, percussion, and programming. The band has an eclectic, funky dance rock vibe to them similar to the likes of Ra Ra Riot with soaring vocals and indelible hooks that grab a hold of you almost immediately and reel you in to enjoy the sonic pleasures that await you on the other side. I've heard of these guys by name only, and I can't believe that I missed the boat on them as they have an amazing musical presence with bombastic instrumentation that is very easy to enjoy and has a positive, carefree vibe to it that is markedly absent from music today and one that we just don't see enough of these days. A terrific band that is definitely worthy of your listening time. Some great tracks for you to discover from them include "Wild" and "Stay".
For more information on Royal Teeth, head on over to their Facebook page located here and see for yourself what you've been missing all this time. You can follow the band on Twitter as well from right here and communicate directly with the band to see if they'll be stopping by your neighborhood sometime soon. Visit their official website here for more wide ranging info pertaining to the band, and keep an eye out for their debut album "Glow", which will be hitting digital retail outlets next Tuesday! In the meantime, you can check out a free download from the new album on their Bandcamp site located here for your listening pleasure.
