Teeth Record And Release Quarantine Single ‘Deathrace’
Written by Johnson Stephen on April 9, 2020
Teeth who feature Vocalist Blake Prince (ex-Straight Reads the Line, Anniversary), Guitarist Chris LeMasters (Hundred Suns, ex-Dead and Divine), and Drummer Ryan “Legs” Leger (Hundred Suns, Norma Jean, ex-Every Time I Die), had their debut Tour and Recording plans all cancelled due to the Covid-19 crisis.
Currently under quarantine, the band are proving that they are an unstoppable force, having recorded their new single ‘Deathrace’ about the current situation, all remotely from their own home studios.
The band wasted no time in thinking outside the box to create ‘Deathrace’, and quickly enlisted the help they needed to turn it around in a matter of days. Chris continues: “As for the recording process, we recorded everything remotely (and individually) from our homes while self-isolating. Our close friend Davis Maxwell took the tracks and mixed/mastered the song from his personal studio space, and our pal Morgan Tedd helped create this video for us. We wanted it to showcase humanity collapsing in on itself because that’s really what this whole thing can feel like at times. We needed this to be a stark reminder of what Could happen if we don’t take things like this seriously.”
On the topic of ‘Deathrace’ Chris continues: “We were all going to be stuck at home anyways, so why not write/record a song about our personal experiences with this whole thing. ‘Deathrace’ touches on the negative mental impact global events like this can have on people while also asking “Are we the real problem?”. While so many of us are quarantining ourselves to help stop the spread of this virus, you can still turn on the television and see parks full of people, college kids throwing house parties, packed beaches in Florida, all while governments turn to having to legally enforce social distancing with fines and penalties. It’s almost like we – the human race – want to self-destruct. This is an unfortunate but interesting event to live through. It’s very telling.”
Check out ‘Deathrace’ streaming on all platforms now.
