Brit surf punk artist, TOOTH GORE, will release his explosive sophomore album, For Losers, By Losers, on Friday 6th June.

TOOTH GORE (aka Kobi Joe) is a supremely talented and exciting surf punk solo artist hailing from the seaside town of Newquay, Cornwall. TOOTH GORE sprung to life in late 2021, but it wasn’t until last year that Kobi started turning heads and making waves.

By meshing gutsy fuzzed up guitars and taking in the emotive raw punk energy of modern acts such as FIDLAR, The Frights, PUP and Jeff Rosenstock, Kobi Joe also blends in hooky reverb drenched doo-wop vibes (which are inspired by the music of the 1950s) and has crafted a sound that is unique and absolutely engaging. Kobi’s lyrics channel his uncertainties and anxieties, capturing both the joy and terror that comes with youth. The end result is something deeply alluring, passionate and cathartic.

TOOTH GORE dropped his debut album, Halloween, last Spring, and tracks from the record picked up widespread global radio airplay (including support from BBC Introducing), as well as hearty Spotify streaming numbers. The single, Werms, was also featured on a curated playlist by Frank Turner. Kobi is now ready to step up further and is loaded with his best work to date in the shape of his new album, For Losers, By Losers. The record is poised to be a game changer for TOOTH GORE. From back to front, the album twists and contorts and is such an accomplished piece of work. Kobi remarks: “For Losers, By Losers, was inevitable, it was necessary for me as a person, it’s a step up in every way from everything I’ve ever worked on before. It also taught me so much about myself as a person and has been an expression of all the bad stuff that goes on in my head all the time. I’ve really found myself as an artist and can’t wait for people to hear what I’ve got in store.”

TOOTH GORE has a series of live performances on the way, as well as festival appearances, and a glut of singles throughout the year. Stay glued to socials for announcements and more.
