UK HEADLINE SHOWS ANNOUNCED + THE GREAT ESCAPE, READING + LEEDS, 2000 TREES + DATES w/ SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE___________________________________________________________________“‘The Age of Innocence’ proves they have the cutting-edge songwriting pedigree to match the ruckus they’ve been causing in the band room… Armed with arresting guitars, Tom Pollock’s invigorating vocals and a frenzy of momentum throughout, this band are set to captivate indieheads and emos alike.” - NME“The London four-piece are nothing short of a force to be reckoned with and ‘The Age of Innocence’ is the perfect introduction to the sound of Tooth.” - So Young “Loud, sweaty and seriously promising.” - Dork “Tooth repeatedly succeed in building beautiful, rhythmic structure. Built on layers of bass and guitar, ‘Medicine’ veers between sections of relative calm, paced with a sweet pulse, and rowdy outbursts of barely-restrained passion.” - DIY "This is London's take on Midwestern emo." - Clash ___________________________________________________________________ Rapidly rising London quartet Tooth announce their hotly anticipated debut EP, Restless in Bloom, ahead of a June 12th release via tastemaker imprint Soil To The Sun Recordings (Cliffords, Hex Girlfriend). ‘Restless in Bloom’ is joined on the EP by Tooth’s pair of early breakout singles ‘The Age of Innocence’ and ‘Medicine’, which have landed to a wave of press and radio acclaim including a place in the esteemed NME 100; radio support from the likes of Sian Eleri on BBC Radio 1, Steve Lamacq and Chris Hawkins on BBC 6 Music, Shaun Keaveny, Jess Iszatt on BBC Introducing and John Kennedy on Radio X, where ‘The Age of Innocence’ has since been added to the X-posure playlist; and further press coverage from the likes of So Young, Dork, Kerrang, The Independent, Rolling Stone UK, DIY, The Line of Best Fit, Wonderland, Our Culture and many more in between. Following a busy start to 2026 that's seen the band play sold-out headline London shows at The Windmill and The Lexington, opening for Dust and Keo on UK tour dates and appearing at festivals including The So Young Weekender in Southampton and Borderline Festival in Dublin, Tooth continue to hit the road throughout this year. Today, they announce a headline run across the UK, alongside previously revealed festival appearances at Reading & Leeds Festival, The Great Escape, Gold Sounds, 2000 Trees, Dot To Dot and Neighbourhood, and opening for their heroes Sunny Day Real Estate, a keen influence on ‘Restless in Bloom’, on their London and Manchester dates this July. Over the past few years, the quartet - comprised of Tom Pollock (guitar, vocals), Ben Ashley (guitar), Charlie Arnison (bass) and Roy Lowe (drums) - have meticulously honed their craft, becoming one of the most talked-about new bands in the country for their riotous live shows which fuse anthemic US alternative, second-wave emo and garage rock Building a devoted live following for a show that’s well-drilled yet off-kilter, as prone to erratic, noisy breakdowns as it is to shout-along choruses, they've racked up an impressive resumé that’s seen them open for the likes of Keo, Brigitte Calls Me Baby, Men An Tol and Dust and hit up festivals including Live At Leeds, Sŵn, Mutations, Kendall Calling and Tenement Trail. Social footprint over 200k + followers across TikTok, Instagram, Spotify, Youtube & CRM. The EP was recorded at Church Studios in Crouch End by producer Kev Jones(Wunderhorse), mixed by Vince Ratti (Turnover, Scowl) and mastered by Will Yip(Turnstile, Title Fight), and perfectly recreates the immediacy and ambition of Tooth’s lauded live show, where timeless songwriting meets the bristling turbulence of youth.
