Milk teeth have refined their sound of grunge rock on their debut album, Vile Child which is set to come out on Hopeless Records this month. It’s refreshing to hear the genre in recent times with it making a sure fire resurgence. Lead singer Becky Blomfield’s vocals are also unique and give the music an edge that improves the overall sound ten fold. They bring something new to the table that is hard to find with other bands in the genre. There seems to be a mould that a lot of bands are falling into at the moment, but Milk Teeth are sincere, hard-working and evolving as proved by their latest effort.

The first track, 'Brickwork' which is also the first single taken from the album, mix’s the two vocals of Blomfield and guitarist, Josh Bannister well. Angst as hell, it’s a song we can imagine playing full blast on the way to a festival. The guitar work and vocal harmony draws you in from the start and will have you wanting more.

The next track that stands out is 'Moon Wanderer' which is as atmospheric as grunge gets. It showcases Blomfield’s vocals at their best and gives you an idea of just what these guys are capable of writing.

As the album goes on we find more and more reasons to put the album on repeat. Songs like ‘Brain Food’ and ‘Swear Jar’ are shining examples of this. The songs where Bannister takes the lead may not seem as impressive, as it sounds like a completely different band and one that doesn't fit in with the sound that is associated with Milk Teeth. The album is well produced though, and with rough edges it’s sound’s exactly how you would want a grungy album to sound on a whole.

We can’t honestly find a real low point on the album, it's consistent and current whilst showcases something new that we can all get excited about for once. As for the future, well Milk Teeth will be on the road more than staying at home this year, so there won’t be a shortage of opportunities to see potentially the next big thing.

Vile Child is available from the 29th via Amazon & iTunes.

Smiling Politely is the album and 'Swear Jar' the anthem. Milk Teeth are still pretty new but already have a respectable following in the West, playing bigger and bigger crowds as the year snowballs on – they’ll be at 2000trees festival this year and I cannot bloody wait.

The female lead singer has a sweet and crisp voice that cuts through the grease that is grunge so well. They hark back to the Eighties and Nineties grunge greats like Nirvana and The Breeders. The respected pop formulas and simple catchy chords are not forgotten but instead are used as good frameworks over which to go a little apeshit.

Then it’s the stuff to tap your creepers and bob your bleached fringe at (we don’t say bangs, that’s just silly). At other times they have that pure slowness so you can stand around and sway a bit, check out that person you’ve been eyeing up, to keep cool to. Grunge perfecto.

But this is a review of two halves. While I like MT, they didn’t have my attention nearly so well as Floorboards. I’d feel I was doing them a disservice if I didn’t mention them, because they were an unexpected surprise way better than anything you’d get from a Kinder egg. It being an underage night gave the feel of a Christian Rock concert somewhat before these guys came on. I have to bear in mind that I’d been drinking mulled cider and other things and I was warm and buzzy inside, but still we all felt it, that thing when something is just really good and you forget who you are and where you are, even that you have a body – you’re just a pair of ears and eyes, feeling.

'Stoned' really creates that easy mood, that sort of cushioning, that happiness. Listening again on Facebook I realise it sounds great live and big. 'Feel' sounds great from small, ineffective laptop speakers or if you’re actually there. The guitar had that sort of looping quality that makes you feel like you’re not in the room, tranquil yet blazing. Overall, I’m reminded of Creed, Chilli Peppers, The Pixies, even Feeder ('Turn') and The Charlatans ('Weirdo') – a pick ‘n’ mix of these and other great influences that I cannot name because like they clearly do, I like a good mixture of music.

Back to my ears, I know they’re actually a decade (deary me) older than a good number of the bodies I was sharing the room with that night and so the things they made me think of won’t all be the same – but the feelings I’m sure will be, pretty much, and that’s the beauty of music, right?
