Biography

Philadelphia quartet the Teeth are twin brothers Peter MoDavis (bass, vocals) and Aaron MoDavis (guitar, vocals) along with Brian Ashby (guitar) and Jonas Oesterle (drums). Taking on the ambition and vocal styles of Queen, Bowie, and the Beatles with an indie rock heart, the brothers and Ashby had been playing together since their early teens. After a few drummers, they acquired Oesterle. Following a few self-releases, the Teeth's first full-length through Park the Van was You're My Lover Now (April 2007), its title a nod to old R&B and jazz album titles.
