“Tooth embodies everything that makes British guitar music so vibrant right now – between their explosive live shows and razor-sharp musical references, they’re primed for a breakthrough and are the kind of vital homegrown talent we love to nurture at Parlophone," said Jen Ivory, MD of Parlophone Records. "I'm so happy to be working alongside our partners at Warner Chappell, as we look to build Tooth’s promising career.”
