Editor's note

Pianos Become the Teeth's raw Baltimore sound

A Baltimore band whose music evolved from hardcore aggression to atmospheric post-rock textures.

For their blend of hardcore and atmosphere, start with 'Creatures of Habit.' 'Charisma' gives a good sense of their lyrical approach to darker themes.

They started with the raw intensity of 'Old Pride' in 2008, but over albums like 'Keep You' and 'Wait for Love,' they blended that hardcore foundation with ambient layers. Songs like 'Creatures of Habit' show how they balance aggression with atmosphere, while 'Charisma' digs into the darker sides of personal magnetism with lyrics that feel urgent and reflective. They've always focused on emotional depth rather than shock value.

Formed in Baltimore in 2006 with Kyle Durfey on vocals, their early sound was aggressive on 'Old Pride.' Later albums like 'The Lack Long After' and 'Keep You' incorporated more ambient and post-rock textures alongside their hardcore roots. Tracks like 'Repine' illustrate this shift toward blending intensity with atmosphere.
