ITCHY TEETH
Itchy Teeth is a Margate based band built around the songwriting duo Xav Clarke and Charlie Hannah, and drummer Oli Booker - they write hyper-melodic, witty and harmony-layered power-pop that boldly tiptoes the line between sincerity and irony - if it’s possible to be heart-on-sleeve and tongue-in-cheek at the same time, they’re it.
They sing about philosophy, pop culture, death and technology, challenging and critiquing it all through pastiche, humour and fun - their work has brought comparisons to artists like 10CC and Supertramp, The Flaming Lips and Weezer.
Itchy Teeth don’t sit still much. Over the last decade they’ve released four self produced albums and crunched countless kilometres on the road, DIY touring around Europe in a hatchback. Back home they are the half-time band at their local football club where they regularly perform classic soccer-pop hits, and in 2019 they were the backing band for Himesh Patel (in the soundtrack and on screen) in Danny Boyle’s film Yesterday. Xav Clarke has also soundtracked numerous cartoons on Cartoon Network, Sky and Apple TV.
Perhaps not surprisingly, they were also snapped up recently by Lawrence (Felt/Denim/Go-Kart Mozart) to be core members of Mozart Estate, his latest vivid pop incarnation.
CLASH: "Imagine a UK centric Lemon Twigs and you'd be close, with their Todd Rundgren-esque psych-pop matched to a whimsical sense of humour."
RONNIE WOOD: “Stupendous pop rock in the style of real bands from the 60’s. Itchy Teeth are the only band doing it right these days. If you think anyone is writing a better song then you’re surely wrong. I can’t get enough of these lads.”

SISYPHES
Sisyphes si.zif is the new, Margate-based project by former La Houle guitarist and songwriter Geoffrey Papin. Their unique part-pop, part-dreamy and definitely alternative sound features elements of the avant pop music of Stereolab, Broadcast and Julien Gasc, wavy guitars and synths inherited from shoegaze, and touch of French synthwave.
