Tooth Gore is a surf punk solo artist hailing from the seaside town of Newquay, Cornwall. Their music is a combination of shiny, reverb heavy doo-wop music, (inspired by the music of the 1950s) as well as the unrefined punk energy of contemporary bands like FIDLAR, The Frights, PUP and Jeff Rosenstock, embracing the grungy fuzz of heavily distorted guitars.
Songwriter and frontman Kobi Joe aims to capture both the joy and terror that comes with youth, where every emotion feels apocalyptic, in his lyrics; channelling his uncertainties and anxieties into music that often feels on the brink of collapsing in on itself.
His introductory single to radio ‘Spoiled Milk’ surpassed all expectations and received a personal record amount of airplay across the globe, increasing Spotify streams by the thousands and overall visibility for the young artist! This was followed by ‘No Fighting In Doo Wop’, the first single from his debut album ‘For Losers, By Losers’, which was released June 6th. The track continued to elevate Tooth Gore’s rise with further international radio and exceptional reviews.
Previous singles ‘So?’, ‘Firebird’, ‘I Hate My Collarbones’ and ‘Uncomfortable’ showcased the versatility of the young singer-songwriter in comparison to his previous releases garnering further airplay, streams and positive reviews, and in the case of his most recent single ‘The Lighthouse’, generated a personal best in radio play with over a 2500 plays worldwide including the likes of Kerrang Radio, Total Rock, BSBTV, Radio X and BBC Introducing.
Tooth Gore has been promoting his debut album over the last few months across the UK, and with a series of shows across the country already under his belt, he will be performing even more shows throughout the remainder of 2025 in preparation for his first international run of shows, kicking off with a tour of the Philippines in January and then Japan in April.
