Music Discovery of the Day: LIPWORMS – “Teeth”

A Four-Person Sonic Anarchy from Portsmouth: There’s Noise, There’s Rhythm, Even Worms

Even pronouncing their name is an experience in itself: LIPWORMS.
But the real experience begins the moment you hear the music of this Portsmouth-based alternative quartet.
Their new track “Teeth” is the latest example of a madness that shatters every rule of genre to write its own dictionary.

🌀 If “Wormcore” Is a Thing, This Is It
The band refuses traditional labels when describing their sound:

• dark post-worm

• wormpsych

• jingleworm

• wormcore

Yes, these made-up genre names are like a summary of their ironic and radical nature. But there’s substance behind the style:

• The raw intensity of noise rock

• The motorik rhythm of krautrock

• Psychedelic guitars

• Industrial electronic textures

• And somehow, a chaos you can dance to… 

🦷 “Teeth”: A Track That Shows Its Teeth
Their new single “Teeth” is a rebellion both in name and structure.
It’s not here to be melodic. It grinds, writhes, hisses — and finally, explodes.
Hypnotic vocals laid over distorted guitars and mechanical basslines make the track both unsettling and mesmerizing.
A little acid house, a little techno, and a whole lot of “What is even happening right now?”

🧠 Who Are LIPWORMS?
Their debut single “Handshake” released in 2024, was a 15-minute live jam session.
It was featured on the Slow Dance ’23 compilation.

Their music is born from performance: live, unplanned, impulsive.
Their live shows transform post-punk aesthetics into something close to a rave.

🎯 Why Listen?
Because some days, music isn’t for calming down — it’s for shaking things up.
“Teeth” by LIPWORMS is exactly that:
A song for those who don’t fit in molds, who feel without needing meaning.
And maybe today, we don’t just want to hear a sound —
We want to become something.

🎧 Turn it up, show your teeth, and dance:
