Devils Teeth
Suki Yaki Hot!

“

Bad ass rip roaring garage with heavy surf and spy movie elements. Think JFA, Henry Mancini, Ennio Morricone spaghetti western. From Milwaukee, standard set up guitar bass drums vocals, but a subtle sax creeps in now and then. Great stuff, play with all the excellent garage from Slovenly, Dirty Water, weve acquired of late.

This Milwaukee band started in 2016 because a bunch of bored friends wanted something fun to do. By mixing up some punk, post-punk, surf and the theatrics of Spaghetti Western soundtracks, they came up with their sound. Their debut album shows off the quirky, talented group’s efforts in a tight package.

With some reverb-soaked vocals, a touch of insanity and powerful playing, this is a wonder to hear. The mix of styles all work together to create a cacophony that sounds like chaos to some, but like sweet honey poured into your earholes, it’s both comforting and strange. Strange to some, but I’ll take the comforting part, without the honey that is…. lol. The songs are fast, a bit sloppy and just this side of losing control, but crikey, what fun! “Party Shark Shake” is a fun song that will get you singing along, jumping up and down and generally acting a fool, but what a way to be.

The band sounds like they’re having the time of their lives and they bring the listener to the party and get you excited to hear more from them. This is the kind of stuff that makes me glad to review albums, a band with talent, humour and just a great listen.

4/5

Quite clearly you could play spot the influence ad nauseam whilst listening to Suki Yaki Hot!, and whilst it’s true that the album draws heavily on a plethora of well-worn musical tropes it would be a disservice to Devils Teeth to write them off as mere retro copyists. There’s a fresh edge to everything the band does, and you’ll be hard pressed to find a more enjoyable listen anytime soon, so get involved!

Suki Yaki Hot! is the perfect blend of the dark and dirty side of rock ‘n roll that manages to simultaneously have one foot in the past and present, the surf rhythms are blended with the sense of menace and arrogance that was the hallmark of the best bands that took rock ‘n roll into the garage in the early sixties, and later emerged with something that was a very different beast. Suki Yaki Hot! is an album I’d recommend to anyone who has a love for bands ranging from Link Wray and The Cramps to The 99 Degree and The Meteors. Devil’s Teeth have produced an album that is the prefect soundtrack for those that lurk in dive bars who appear to be looking for trouble, but in reality just want another beer and an album like this on the jukebox.

Screaming in from Milwaukee, which is Algonquin for “The Good Land”, comes Suki Yaki Hot!, the newest album of absolute perfect surf punk from three piece, sometimes four piece, Devil’s Teeth. In a show of absolute rock competency, Capt. Jon Canine wrings, no oozes and drips reverb out of every molecule that makes up what looks to be a vintage Mosrite guitar. These guys do the vibe and sound right, and for you youngsters “right” is with a real spring box reverb setup. The Capt. uses it with mastery, and also recognizes just how musical the mechanics of it can be. On many tracks the listener hears the distorted, warbly chaos as they hit and rock the box, making the springs inside explode and decay. Add in an incredible rhythm section with Eric Incisor on bass and Chuck Molar on drums and you get vintage, nostalgia loaded perfection as they bring out the best in what surf punk once was. - 4/5

Bits of trebly, reverb-laden garage rock mixed in with bits of surf and noise rock make for a scintillating soufflé of rattling raucousness. The tunes often have an epic quality about them, and the players deftly dance the fine line between being noisy and being noise.
