NO TEETH, the enigmatic band celebrated for their electrifying blend of influences from Captain Beefheart to The Cramps, is set to unleash their latest single, "I Am Not an Officer." This scathing opus will undoubtedly leave listeners on the edge of their seats, craving more.

"I Am Not an Officer" is a ferocious anthem that encapsulates the very essence of No Teeth's signature sound. Drawing inspiration from the raw energy of post-punk legends like Country Teasers and the Birthday Party, the track exudes a gritty yet electrifying aura uniquely their own.

But wait, there's more! "I Am Not an Officer" merely serves as a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come from their highly anticipated album, "Decadence in Breeding," slated for release on June 16th. Across the album's 12 tracks, listeners will be treated to a diverse sonic landscape, from the angular post-punk vibes of "Stealing For My Own Gain" and the heavy Beefheart haze of "A Horse Named Panty Raid."

At the heart of the music lies a thematic exploration of debauchery, hedonism, and depravity. Each track on "Decadence in Breeding" unveils a perverse parable featuring characters of nefarious descent, delving into subjects like gambling, sexual deviance, murder, and gluttony. It's a wild ride that is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who dare to listen.

So mark your calendars for June 21st and prepare to experience the sonic onslaught of No Teeth -"Decadence in Breeding."
