Therapy Horse – released their latest single, ‘My Tongue / My Teeth’

Cork/Limerick-based outfit Therapy Horse released their latest single, ‘MY TONGUE / MY TEETH.’ This follows the band’s electrifying 2025 entrance, where they earned immediate recognition as one of Post-Brexit Pop’s Best Debuts of 2025 and most recently featured in one of VICE’s articles as one of the “5 of the Coolest Rock Bands with Under 1,000 Spotify Listeners You Should Definitely Know About”. The single coincides with the announcement of the band’s debut Irish Tour: ‘behold, the tour’, which will see the band headline shows in Belfast, Galway, and Dublin.

‘MY TONGUE / MY TEETH’ is an aural assault. Menacing. Treacherous. Unapologetic. The opening malignant, snarling drum pattern demands attention from the outset. Followed by rumbling, cascading guitars which signifies to the listeners that they are in for a perturbing ride. Dollery’s initial whispered vocals ask the question “does it turn you on? / When I speak in tongues.” As with all Therapy Horse songs the lyricism doesn’t hold back. The aim is to evoke questions about power and submission. Stripping away the polish of modern production to reveal the jagged and unvarnished truth beneath the noise.

Speaking on the track Cormac Donovan O’Neill (vocals/guitar) says “‘MY TONGUE / MY TEETH’ is our most full-on aggressive track to date, a furious no-wave onslaught in the spirit of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks with a bass-heavy electronic undercurrent. On tracks like LET ME BE CLEAR and SISTER TO NONE, we’ve been painstaking in drawing out the dynamic buildup of our tracks, but here, we wanted to capture the deafening volume and immediate ferocity that MY TONGUE / MY TEETH has always brought to our live show. From Schuch’s ultra-propulsive drums to Emily’s harsh vocals to the walls of grinding guitars, everything is in high-gear from start to finish.”

The track is built on a foundation of mechanical drum precision and guitars drenched in distortion. With a vocal performance that is unapologetically raw and cuts through dense layers of intentional static, this track delivers a message that feels both desperate and empowering. In order to achieve this energy the band “went into the studio with Andy (Killian, of Cork art-punks Pretty Happy), we knew it was a no-brainer to track the vast majority of this song live in order to bottle that intensity as best we could. The breakdown in the middle of the song – as direct a homage as we’ve got to our shared love of hardcore – features an utterly blown-out, reversed and bitcrushed scream from myself, which we all had a great giggle at in the studio, but on the track lends a chaotic texture to the section in the vein of YVETTE or Gilla Band’s pulverising noise-rock/electronica.”
