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’ and ‘The Lighthouse’, 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 ‘Cold Heart, Warm Skin, generated a personal best in radio play with over a 3000 plays worldwide including the likes of Kerrang Radio, Total Rock, BSBTV, Radio X and BBC Introducing.

Tooth Gore announces new single ‘Song For The Birdman’ (out 13th March) – the first release from the upcoming 2026 EP.

After writing and demoing a fresh batch of songs, Kobi Joe – the solo surf-punk force behind Tooth Gore – headed into the studio with acclaimed producer George Perks (Enter Shikari, Bring Me The Horizon, Kid Kapichi, Skindred) and powerhouse session drummer Keiran Leigh. Together, they carved out four of the most high-energy tracks from the collection, shaping them into a blistering four-track EP set for release in 2026.

The first taste of those sessions arrives with ‘Song For the Birdman’. True to Tooth Gore’s signature style, the track blends raw emotion with introspective lyrics. The song is a celebration of late 90’s – early 2000’s skate culture. A time when loud, immature pop-punk bangers were the soundtrack to movies and more importantly the legendary “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater” franchise.

Add in Kobi’s usual self-deprecating lyrical style and you have the recipe for a truly nostalgic hit. Listeners are invited to turn it up loud, immerse themselves in the nostalgia, and keep an ear out for references hidden throughout the track.
