Sometimes life has it in for you. Everything appears to be going wrong. It is in these moments that your true character shines through. Presented with the option of crumbling to the floor or holding a chin up, the latter is often more difficult. Boat Race Weekend, from Spokane, WA, know the feeling well.

“Promise me darling that you won’t be afraid to smile despite a mouth full of broken teeth,” they implore on their latest single. It’s a brutal analogy for positivity,  captured in a suitably dark yet melodious package. Taken from their forthcoming ‘Throw My Head To The World’ EP, ‘Broken Teeth’ does just that; announcing Boat Race Weekend as a voice of personal affirmation.
