What exactly is the mark of real rock ‘n’ roll? The music? The attitude? The trousers? No. It’s the ability of a band to induce listeners to completely lose themselves in the music, to turn it up as far as it will go, and fuck everything, while at the same time enjoying a good laugh at everyone’s expense. This is something that Seattle-based Police Teeth have honed to a fine art since their formation in 2006, and which is at the heart of their debut album for Milwaukee’s Latest Flame Records. Police Teeth’s previous albums, 2007’s Jazz Records For Sale and 2009’s Real Size Monster Series (both issued on the Blood City label), were modern classics in their own right, containing insanely great songs like “Motherfuckers Move Slow” and “Northern California,” but with Awesomer Than The Devil the band has taken years of playing, touring, and experiences—good and bad—and distilled them into a record that is already being hailed as among 2011’s best.

Overview
STREET DATE APRIL 26, 2011
In the ’60s, an 18-year-old draft resistor and college dropout named Tom Rapp sent a small unsolicited reel of tape to ESP. Bernard Stollman invited him to bring his musicians to New York, where they recorded their acclaimed debut, One Nation Underground, in 1967. Less than a year later, they released the equally strong follow-up, Balaklava. Classics of the genre, which certainly would have seen wider attention had ESP survived past 1968, these recordings received a well-deserved second chance thanks to a thorough remastering under Rapp’s explicit supervision.
