"I know nothing about them, but that name is freakin’ awesome."
- Toronto Star (Jun 16th, 2010)
"This no-wave inspired art-punk band have a gloriously messy way of handling their razor sharp shards of sax and guitar." - NOW Magazine
"I don’t know a whole lot about these guys, other than they opened for The Cribs at our show in Toronto recently, and we loved them.
Toronto natives, they are a 6 piece avant-garde band who are actually a lot of fun, lacking the pretense that can sometimes be attendant with avant-garde music. They reminded me a bit of Needs New Body in their almost freeform song structures and bizarre changes and flights of fancy, and at other times Deerhoof, in the moments when snippets of strange pop emerged from the noise from time to time. They were fundamentally heavier than either of those two bands though.
On-stage they all line up next to each other and look like a bizarre gang of misfits... a gang in the fact that they all seem very committed to the same unusual goal. And I think that’s awesome."
- Drowned In Sound may 7 2012
That was a great set at The Drake. Raucous anthems performed with dry-humping energy and explosive joy. All hell breaks loose, the floodgates open, resulting in a no-nonsense head-rush of excitement in all it's glory. - Lonely Vagabond
Psychedelic, swirly, more focused, but you're also maintaining that indie edge, that Teen Tit's DIY approach. You guys are one of the reasons I started going to Elvis Mondays, so I'm glad you're pushing the boundaries of songwriting. - Lonely Vagabond

Bio
Already notorious in Toronto for their out of control live show, powerful songs and captivating presence, Teen Tits Wild Wives are a gang of young noise makers from Toronto.
Their sound combines a wealth of eclectic influences (from avant folk/pop to grindcore and free jazz) often during the same song, all with the vibe of kids raised on a steady diet of Wu-Tang and Minor Threat cassettes.
With blasts of guitar/drums/keys/trumpet and gang vocals, they form like Voltron, creating a sound owing as much to "Bitches' Brew" and Black Flag as Broken Social Scene.
Taking up the torch of Canadian weirdness down the way paved by bands like DD/MM/YYYY and AIDS Wolf, they're just as much at home playing atonal noise as writing late night anthems.
