Dead Tooth & No Surrender - "I Hate The Precedent"

We’re thrilled to premiere the video for “I Hate The Precedent,” the latest single from Dead Tooth & No Surrender.  The searing anti-Trump anthem arrived last week as the perfect October surprise, just as we’re entering the final weeks leading up to the most consequential election of our lifetimes. 

The combination of Dead Tooth & No Surrender are a perfect, raging pair, as “I Hate The Precedent” conveys potent feelings of justifiable anger at the example the president sets through his repulsive actions. The duo solidifies the song’s mood early on with the immediate introduction of some ominous-sounding guitars that progressively grow more menacing in tone as the track pushes forward. The two split the vocal duties on the song with Dead Tooth singing with a post-punk baritone, while No Surrender projects more of a blues-y drawl. Both have a thing or two to say about Mr. Trump, and if you’re a sensible person, you’ll surely be able to relate.

The video begins in an alleyway, where a Trump looking figure approaches a down on his luck Dead Tooth, who asks him for spare change - only to have the deeply orange-hued shithead reach into his change cup and steal his money. The video then interposes shots of both Dead Tooth and No Surrender with the Trump figure, as he attempts to sexually assault a woman (who I believe is the artist Ghost Piss) walking past him. He’s promptly and summarily destroyed in response! The video concludes with a critically important message: “For the love of god, VOTE!” Here at Look At My Records!, we couldn’t agree more.
