Dead Tooth’s latest single “You Never Do Shit” is a barbed-wire bloody danceable banger that pulses with venomous urgency—a snarling, no-frills slice of punk-dance chaos that finds the Brooklyn outfit sharpening their already feral sound into something even more abrasive, danceable, and unrelentingly alive. Frontman Zach James spits and shouts with unfiltered rage, delivering each line with the kind of guttural conviction that makes you believe every word. It’s all wrapped in the band’s signature sonic dissonance—”a welcome discordance,” where melody and madness exist in equal measure. It’s no surprise, then, that The Deli NYC praised the band’s dynamic control, noting their ability to shift gears without losing their grip. “You Never Do Shit” doesn’t just rage for the sake of rage. It’s a highly wound, deliberate burst of frustration, a response to disconnection and inertia—served up with big hooks and sweat-soaked grit. It’s Dead Tooth doing what they do best: making chaos sound like catharsis. The guitar work and energy in the vocals is just pure fire and held together by a steady relentless rhythm section. At the last minute just to through more chaos in, there is a bit of chamber music? If you’re looking for a CGBG revival check this shit out.
