“Starting off the whole night was Seattle band Acid Teeth. These guys have only been a band for about a year, but you’d never guess it by watching them. They seemed like seasoned pros, though some members came from other bands, so perhaps this was why. These guys kicked butt. There was a lot of hair on this band and they constantly whipped their hair about. Their lead singer is a Jim Morrison look-alike, but the similarities ended there. There was no brooding poetry in this band, just wild energy of punk and metal and hard core. I was surprised the roof was still standing when their set was over. Acid Teeth are, Gradie Wallen, Todd Ohashi, Jonny Safari & Greg McCormick. Check them out when you get a chance. Another night of punk rock and another couple days of soothing my aching muscles until the next punk rock show.

Acid Teeth! Local Hard-Core. Intense edged hardcore.
A great band name with a metaphor for BITE.
Kinda sounds like the name for kick ass energy drink.
Acid Teeth are a new band formed in 2015. The are, Gradie Wallen, Todd Ohashi, Jonny Safari, Greg McCormick.
They play lot's of local festivals. They were probably the local band that stood out the most for me. The vocals were much closer to how actual humans sound when they are yelling instead of how demons sound, (lol).
The singer Gradie Wallen roars. They fit the descript of crust (a.k.a. "gutter-punk") and looked the part of hardcore, they had a respectful following in the audience.
They kept a pretty constant tempo and just blasted my face off.
Check out their FB page.

If you are a lover of speedy, thrashy, pull no punches punk bands like Total Chaos, The Exploited, and G.B.H. then you will find yourself right at home with Acid Teeth.
Combining a dual guitar assault, thick bass and rock solid drumming Acid Teeth carried the show to the next level.
I really enjoyed the elements of their sound that made me think of old school AFI in some areas.
Or like their song "X-Ray Glasses" the opening wail of guitar feedback builds into this rolling bass and drum line that I found reminiscent of songs like "London Dungeon" From the Misfits.
