Teeth of the Sea is a psychedelic rock band from London. The group, consisting of Sam Barton, Mike Bourne, John Hirst, and Jimmy Martin, formed after being inspired by a Wolf Eyes gig. They released their debut album 'Orphaned By The Ocean' in January 2009 on Rocket Recordings. Following this release, John Hirst left the band and was replaced by Mat Colegate. In 2017, Mat also departed and Teeth Of The Sea continued as a trio with Sam Barton, Mike Bourne, and Jimmy Martin.

In the last decade, the iconoclastic four-pronged force of Teeth Of The Sea has traversed from its origins in North London pub gigs and basement rehearsal rooms to far-flung locales that its members could scarcely have considered possible when they first began. 

Their fourth album 'Highly Deadly Black Tarantula', in all its malevolent glory, may well be the apex of their mission thus far. Following in the wake of the release of their mind-melting third album 'Master'. 2014 was a bizarre and thrilling year for Teeth Of The Sea, taking them to unexpected territory both physical and metaphysical - a re-imagining of the modern-day midnight movie A Field In England saw performances at both Cork Film Festival and Hackney Picture House, and was released on Rocket Recordings on a limited run for Record Store Day. 

What resulted was 'Highly Deadly Black Tarantula', their most focused and aggressive album yet. Machine-driven yet melodically abundant, the widescreen industrial expanses of this album combine the influence of long-time band favourites like Aphex Twin, Angelo Badalamenti and Throbbing Gristle with new inspiration that spans from Chicago footwork to black metal. What's more, it's a collection as rich in scope as it is powerful in intent.
