Showing Teeth – A Fate Worse Than Loneliness
Infiltrating the vanguard of heavy music with an uncanny and unpredictable sound like no other, acclaimed Nashville-based sonic alchemist SHOWING TEETH presents her much-anticipated debut EP, A FATE WORSE THAN LONELINESS, out now via Republic Records + Spinefarm.
In tandem with the project, she opened up an online store and uncovered her first-ever official merch drop, featuring a “Bad Exchanges” camo hat, Labyrinth longsleeve shirt, and CD version of A FATE WORSE THAN LONELINESS.
To celebrate the EP’s arrival, she also served up the music video for the new single “Make It Out” today.
The clip captures the uncontrolled energy of this disarmingly catchy anthem with gritty footage and an appropriately claustrophobic performance.
Musically, the track’s glitchy riff slips into a buoyant palm-muted groove, while airy keys carry the verses. Boosted by alternately crunching and chugging distortion, SHOWING TEETH translates anxiety into a transfixing refrain as she accepts, “Maybe it’s too late to pick me up…I’ll throw myself back down….Even up to now, I’ll tell myself, ‘You’ll never make it out’.”
Amplifying her internal struggle aloud without shame, she fearlessly wrestles with self-defeat on the hook and pushes through with honesty and heart intact.
She teased the EP with the brutal and bludgeoning “Bad Exchanges.” The latter is quickly nearing one million total streams. Plus, she delivered a chaotic music video to accompany the song.
Earning acclaim, Revolver hailed it as “a series of noise-tastic riff swerves, ground-unsettling gravity blasts, deliciously disjointed sound effects and, of course, the ultra-violent screams and squeals of project leader and vocalist Addison.” Metal Hammer named it one of “The 12 Best New Metal Songs You Need To Hear Right Now,” going on to profess, “Maybe it’s the frequent blast-beats, or the shrieking, grindcore like screeches, but the Nashville artist really nails a sense of frenzied mania.”
The EP also boasts “Rip,” which has amassed over 1 million streams and counting thus far. Revolver touted it among the “6 Best New Songs Right Now,” raving: “Beyond that textual heaviness, SHOWING TEETH goes next level berserk with her feral shrieks.”
This fall, she will hit the road as support to President on the band’s sold-out North American Campaign 2026 for six weeks across North America. This run commences on September 4 in Nashville, TN at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville, visits major markets coast-to-coast, and closes out on October 14 in Dallas, TX at House of Blues Dallas.
