Bullet Tooth is proud to announce the worldwide signing of
Minneapolis, Minnesota’s, THROW THE FIGHT. For the
past three decades, Minneapolis has had its finger on the
pulse of the musical world. There’s something about the
Northern Midwest crowds that demand passion and energy
from their musical acts. THROW THE FIGHT continues
that tradition, bringing an authentic display of metal-edged
hard rock. It’s the kind of energy one hears on the band’s
newest album, the John Feldmann (ATREYU, THE USED)-
produced What Doesn’t Kill Us.
Months after initial talks with the band, Bullet Tooth president
Josh Grabelle flew out to Minneapolis to see the band
play in their element. “I watched THROW THE FIGHT
play at First Ave in front of 1000+ hungry music fans and
they tore the roof off the place. They were exactly what
I had hoped they would be and reminded me of a young
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE. These guys are stars.”
Recorded during a three-week stretch in Feldmann’s own
Los Angeles studio, What Doesn’t Kill Us runs the gamut,
stretching across metal and alternative, to just plain-old,
white-knuckled rock ‘n’ roll. Serving to example is the
blinding intensity behind tracks like “One Step Away,”
“Lifesaver,” and “Lights Out For Summer,” which are
imbued with soulful, intelligent songwriting to accompany
TTF’s brand of angst-ridden fervor.
“Rock and roll is everything . . . To us, there’s nothing else,”
proclaims guitarist Ryan Baustert. It’s that same all-in,
do-it-yourself attitude that pours from TTF’s essence; an
ever-present force that drives exceptional live performance,
fantastic studio work, and an ineffable mass appeal. Members
James Clark (vocals), Ryan Baustert (guitar), Jonathan
Sutton (guitar/back-up vocals), Kyle Glidden (bass/backup
vocals), and Jeff Baustert (drums) are headed somewhere
fast and What Doesn’t Kill Us is a standing testament
to the band’s resilience.
