adamxvass:

another poster coming up, this time for Pianos Become the Teeth’s hometown show at the end of the month. This will also be a limited edition of 40 posters for sale at the show. 2 color screen print on 80lb 12.5x19” speckled paper. Any extras after the show will be available from my webstore. 

This is gonna be a real good jammy.

These started shipping Friday! The shirts aren’t in for the package deals yet, so those orders are still on hold a little bit longer. If you haven’t picked it up you still can in our store.

Also, we’ve been randomly throwing in some TA / PBTT winter 2011 tour posters that we found some extra’s of in some of the orders.

Howabout the video Max Moore did for Touché Amoré’s “Gravity, Metaphorically”? The end is unreal good.

If you haven’t yet, you can buy the vinyl / package deals OR buy the digital / stream it for free.

The response to this Touche Amore / Pianos Become The Teeth split has been UNREAL. Thank you! Just a heads up: record bundles, package deal exclusive colors and the split halves variants are all sold out with the last copies of the exclusive gold variant about to be gone. All orders come with an immediate download which includes free courtesy tracks from Caravels & Octaves.

Buy the vinyl / package deals OR buy the digital / stream it for free.

Order the record on vinyl, exclusive shirts, package deals, bundles and more at the Topshelf store (instant downloads of the record with free bonus tracks from Caravels and Octaves)

-or-

Pick it up digitally on the Topshelf bandcamp (with free bonus tracks from Caravels and Octaves)

Pianos Become the Teeth - “Hiding”

So this is exciting.

Photo by Evan Dell.

Pianos Become the Teeth have a new split coming out with Touché Amoré this month through ourselves and Deathwish, Inc. — you can now listen to Pianos’ side of it below:

The band will also be playing a rare home-town show soon. Tickets are available now!

Here’s what the band had to say:

Today is a special day for us. Check out our new song, “Hiding”, that will appear on our split with Touché Amoré here.

Tickets for our home show are now on sale as well. Please don’t wait to buy tickets, this is going to an awesome show with a very special lineup that will be announced soon. You can buy tickets here.

Pre-order details will be posted soon.

We’re pairing up with Deathwish, Inc. to release a split with Touche Amore & Pianos Become the Teeth!

Touche Amore are a thought provoking, passionate band from Los Angeles, CA. Throughout their relentless touring and the release of last year’s Parting The Sea Between Brightness and Me, the band has established itself as one of the most exciting young bands in contemporary hardcore/punk today.

Here, Touche Amore offer up the exceptional “Gravity, Metaphorically”, a stripped down and discordant emotional roller coaster of a song. For over four minutes, Touche Amore rattle and buzz through tempo changes and jangly riffs, as vocalist/lyricist Jeremy Bolm pours out his heart and soul in his trademark way. A poignant step forward for a band that continues to impress with every effort.

Pianos Become The Teeth are one of the bands leading the latest generation of emotional hardcore/punk. Led by unique vocalist/lyricist Kyle Durfey, they create moving music with a focus on his powerfully poetic story telling capabilities.

With this release, Pianos Become The Teeth offer up their extraordinary new song “Hiding”. Meandering melodic guitar work weaves in and out before Durfey expels “There’s no good in your eyes anymore…” telling a weighty and complex tale of the subtle nuances of love and conflict. The song continues to push and pull as emotions do throughout it’s five minute run. Slowly building only to beautifully crash in a way that only Pianos Become The Teeth can.

The split will be out digitally January 8, 2013 and physically on January 22, 2013. Pre-order details will be available soon.

Meet Seth. He’s a model, you know. Seth’s not the biggest guy in the world at a modest 5’8”, but even he is dwarfed by our huge 46” x 46” Pianos Become the Teeth banner & 2’ x 3’ Topshelf Records logo banner. Both are limited to 500 and in the store now. Thanks, Seth.
