If you’re looking for a track that screams electrifying energy and raw grit, look no further than "Teeth", the latest release from South Florida’s own Dirty Rivals. The trio, consisting of Jacob Maicol, Nelson Brockwell, and Steven Salguero, has unleashed a true alternative rock banger that hits hard, ignites passion, and keeps you coming back for more.


“Teeth” is the kind of song that doesn’t ease you in — it grabs you by the collar and drags you into the chaos with its fierce, electrifying energy. From the first note, it’s clear that Dirty Rivals knows exactly who they are and exactly what they want to deliver: hard-hitting, edgy, and unapologetically raw rock music. This is a track that makes a statement. It’s the sound of a band finally breaking free, and it feels like they’re on the verge of something huge.


But let’s rewind a bit. Formed in early 2020, Dirty Rivals didn’t exactly get the easiest start. Just as they were finding their footing, the COVID-19 pandemic came crashing in, throwing the music world into a whirlwind of uncertainty. For many, this might’ve been a moment to fold, but for Dirty Rivals, it was the perfect opportunity to hone their craft and solidify their sound. The result? A blend of hard alternative rock with indie undertones that feels fresh, exciting, and ready to take the world by storm.


Influenced by the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Bring Me the Horizon, Foo Fighters, and Nothing But Thieves, “Teeth” packs all the punch you’d expect from a band that pulls inspiration from some of rock’s biggest names. But make no mistake — Dirty Rivals has something uniquely their own. This isn’t your typical alternative rock band. It’s raw, it’s aggressive, and it’s got a swagger that’s hard to ignore. With “Teeth,” they’ve dialed up the intensity, delivering a track that’s not just hard-hitting in terms of sound, but also in its emotional impact.


Lyrically, “Teeth” bites with an edge. There’s a palpable tension in the words, a fierce desire to break free, to take a stand, and to embrace the chaos that comes with living authentically. The band’s high-energy performance is mirrored in the song’s furious pace, with every guitar riff and drum hit delivering a jolt of adrenaline that demands attention.


It’s a testament to their skill and determination that, despite the pandemic’s setbacks, Dirty Rivals has come out of the gate swinging. With a growing catalog that includes an EP and multiple singles, they’ve already made their mark on South Florida’s rock scene. And with “Teeth,” they’re setting their sights on the rest of the world.



What makes Dirty Rivals stand out is the fusion of styles. Their sound isn’t bound by one genre — it’s a melting pot of rock, alt-rock, indie, and even hints of pop sensibilities that make it accessible while retaining that gritty, hard edge. The energy in their music is contagious, and it’s clear they’re ready to take on whatever the rock world has to throw at them.


So, if you’re not already familiar with Dirty Rivals, now’s the time to pay attention. “Teeth” is the perfect introduction to their electric presence — a song that proves they’re not just another band in the alternative rock scene, but the next big thing. With more music on the horizon, you’ll want to keep a close eye on these guys as they continue to carve out their place in the world of rock and roll.


Get ready to turn up the volume and sink your teeth into “Teeth.” This is just the beginning, and Dirty Rivals are here to stay.
