Hustle Beach review shows retro 80s influences from Baby Teeth
The Gazette reviews Baby Teeth’s Hustle Beach, a neo-pop punk set with an 80s backdrop. It notes strong organ moments on I Hope She Won t Let Me and a Devo esque groove on the title track but finds some tracks repetitive. The piece highlights Shrine and Let It Roll as upbeat cuts while Snake Eyes sags. The writer promotes the CD release party and provides contact details.
