Liverpool grunge band The Mysterines release new single "Sink Ya Teeth"

LIVERPOOL GRUNGE BAND THE MYSTERINES  RELEASE NEW SINGLE “SINK YA TEETH” — STREAM SOPHOMORE ALBUM AFRAID OF TOMORROWS OUT ON JUNE 7 VIA FICTION RECORDS — PRE-ORDER Press photo by Steve Gullick “If the new era of The Mysterines continues down this path of raw intimacy, I think we’re in for a stirring sophomore release.”

“If Courtney Love fronted Queens Of The Stone Age in the 90s, it might have sounded like this.”

“A raw, visceral, and unabating urgency courses through the air as sweaty guitars churn out a dark and ominous melody. Heavy drums add to the fervor, their thick beat dramatic and jarring. And then Lia Metcalfe comes in, and lights the whole world on fire.”

UK alternative rock band The Mysterines have released their propulsive new single “Sink Ya Teeth,” the second track to be taken from their highly-anticipated new album Afraid of Tomorrows, due for release on June 7 via Fiction Records. Underpinned by a heavy bass riff with a steady, danceable drumbeat and topped off with frontwoman Lia Metcalfe’s rapturous vocals, “Sink Ya Teeth” shows the band at the height of their powers — Stream.  Lia comments on the song, “‘Sink Ya Teeth’ is a testament to the brutality of real love. Written during a time where the boundaries of pain and passion were warped amidst the chaos of addiction and desire.” 

Formed in Liverpool, The Mysterines – frontwoman Lia Metcalfe, drummer Paul Crilly, bassist George Favager and guitarist Callum Thompson – have undergone a radical transformation over the past few years. Fresh with new purpose and reinvigorated from songwriting sessions while secluded away in the countryside (in between playing to 60,000-strong crowds while on tour with the Arctic Monkeys), the band is now about to release the best music of their career. Recorded and produced by Grammy Award winning producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Angel Olsen) in LA, Afraid of Tomorrows is a deeper and darker foray into The Mysterines’ psyche than its predecessor, and reflects the maturity and growth of the band. “‘Afraid of Tomorrows’ is a mirror where you find you’re nothing more than a formless being, one made from celestial constellations — of traumas, of the old and new, mistakes, addiction, fear and happiness, loneliness, but ultimately a desire for life and the fight to keep living. It’s a collage of what’s been lost and of love unbounded” says Lia.
