With the big ol' X-odus and new followers to boot, figured it's time for a reintroduction.

We're Toothdrinker, a rock / metal outfit based out of Cardiff. We're a bit of a DIY one-man-band thing, but I've been lucky enough to convince a bunch of mega talented people to join me along the way. (1/5)
For reasons mostly unclear, after three and a half years I decided to make physical CDs of 'Last Escape' - our Resident Evil 3 rock opera.

You can pick one up on at toothdrinker.bandcamp.com if you're so inclined.

This is where your Harry Potter money goes
jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.

yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.

no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

Bits of that supreme court ruling are simply false. Sex is objectively not binary; there are people who are in between. Biological characteristics are not plain, unambiguous or self-explanatory. This is a bunch of old people pretending science isn't true because they'd prefer the world to be simple.

fuck this horrible, bigoted country
The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex, and does not include people with a Gender Recognition Certificate.

We are so underground we don't even have a Wrapped. Legendary.

I’m worried that kids today are growing up without a video game series that teaches them 13 or 15 similar sounding skate punk songs

Probs pretty obvious at this point that two things I enjoy are metal and Sonic.

So, fittingly, here's a shelf of Metal Sonics.

Apparently it's been 30 years since the Sega Saturn came out, so here's one of my fave soundtracks from the era: NiGHTS Into Dreams.

While I'm terrible at the game, it's aesthetic and soundtrack are some of my faves in all of gaming.

This is extremely cool
A while ago, I released "We Are Stardust". Physical editions included a #C64 game by Megastyle (awesome retro devs) with 8-bit versions of the album’s songs as the soundtrack. Here’s the game loading from glow-in-the-dark vinyl 👾 Audio noise = data, loaded in real-time. So proud we pulled this off!

Yeah sure, no one *needs* the soundtrack to Sonic Spinball on vinyl, but here we are all the same.

Also picked up Sonic Frontiers at the same time as it was on sale. Because why not?

Top tier aesthetic, top tier game.

Somehow it has been three whole years since we put our debut album, 'Last Escape' - a rock opera based on Capcom's Resident Evil 3.

It's a little rough around the edges, but I'm dead proud of how it turned out all the same.

The 'I AM THE INTIMIDATOR' album is genuinely one of the best things I've listened to this year.
There are 45 days left in 2024.
Time is swiftly running out for a third band to drop some kickass NASCAR metal and complete the unofficial trilogy.

In a bout of slightly stressed out retail therapy a couple of months ago, I ended up with this guy. I have no regrets.

Nice to finally have a Saturn that doesn't suffer from thr PAL 50hz curse.

Haven't had a chance to finish any songs off in a while due to our new-ish arrival, but here's something I started a few months back and am still chipping away at.

Defo entering my goth ELO era.

I have to admit that in the post-X social media world, I had backed Threads as the new spot. Buuuut I think that was the wrong horse, so reactivating this account.

New song 'Flicker' is out now everywhere you can get music - Bandcamp, Spotify, all the streaming joints.

It's a spacey musing on 'what ifs' communicated via chuggy riffs and cheesy melodies. We hope you dig it!

'Flicker' is out a week tomorrow (1 March)!

Described by my completely unbiased partner as “the best song you've ever written”. If that totally unsolicited and objective feedback doesn't get you excited, nothing will!

New song "Flicker" out on 1 March.

Looking forward to getting this one out there! Bit more spacey and heavier than usual.

Found a whole load of '90s sample packs and had a play around at trying to create a low budget survival horror soundtrack. Fun experiment!

Been working on my mixing skills recently for a new song. And while I'm pretty happy with how the mix is coming together, I think I will happily never listen to this song again once it's done.
