Addison of Showing Teeth | S2 Ep6

<p>Showing Teeth’s Addison joins the show for a conversation about the unexpected rise of one of heavy music’s most exciting new projects.</p><p><br></p><p>Addison shares how Showing Teeth grew from videos of her practicing screams and vocals online into a full-fledged band, despite never having a calculated plan for turning social media into a music career. She talks about growing up in Kentucky, discovering heavy and progressive music, starting out as a bass player, and eventually deciding to stop trying to fit into other people’s bands and make exactly the music she wanted to hear.</p><p><br></p><p>They dig into Showing Teeth’s genreless approach to songwriting, pulling inspiration from metalcore, prog, electronic music, industrial, black metal, EDM and beyond — all while prioritizing emotion over fitting into a specific scene or sound.</p><p><br></p><p>Addison also tells the story of how Dan Book discovered her through TikTok and ultimately used Periphery drummer Matt Halpern to get her attention. What started as mentorship and collaboration quickly developed into a creative team and friendship surrounding Showing Teeth.</p><p><br></p><p>The conversation also covers Addison’s transition from performing online to becoming a live frontperson, playing early shows with Beartooth, building a live band from scratch, preparing for her first real tour, handling online criticism, and navigating the pressure of suddenly working alongside musicians she grew up admiring.</p><p><br></p><p>Plus, Addison explains why she’d rather work at Zumiez than write music she doesn’t believe in, why Showing Teeth is only going to get weirder, and why Whitechapel’s Phil Bozeman is officially the “Deathcore Justin Bieber.”</p><p><br></p><p>🚐 <strong>Join The Road Crew (Patreon)</strong></p><p>Support the show, unlock exclusive content, and keep the tour rolling:</p><p> 👉 <a href="https://www.patreon.com/lflipod" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/lflipod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>💀 <strong>Exclusive Listener Discounts</strong></p><p>• <strong>10% OFF</strong> at Rockabilia — Use code <strong>&quot;LOAD&quot;</strong> → <a href="https://www.rockabilia.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rockabilia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>• <strong>30% OFF </strong>eligible Neural DSP Plugins, cannot combine with other promotions — Use code <strong>&quot;LOAD&quot;</strong> → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="www.neuraldsp.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠neuraldsp.com⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>💙 <strong>Mental Health Resources</strong>Feeling the weight?
