Abertooth Lincoln fit into a genre all of their own. An aggressive, space-hardcore, progressive punk band from Dayton, Ohio, their music is heavy, weird, complicated and genre-fluid. They are also the most uniquely refreshing band you would have heard in a long time.
Musically they’ll mindfuck you with a kaleidoscope of reminiscent sounds as unconventional as Mr Bungle, the intensity of The Dillinger Escape Plan mixed with the quirky and eclectic style of The B52’s. Lyrically they swing from harsh social commentary to The Presidents Of The United States-esque satire.
Fronted by the magnetic Edith Coleslaw aka Ashley Pooler demanding your direct attention, Abertooth Lincoln is quickly gaining praise as a live act not to miss. Chicagocrowdsurfer.com describing them as “churning space-jazz and straight-up hostel noise” going on to say they were welcome back there any time. Their multifarious sound and high energy performances are grabbing and holding the attention of anyone who meets their gaze.
The ability to do all of this seamlessly has always impressed me on record, and left my jaw hanging open more than once when I’ve seen them live.”

Everyone should have a soundtrack playing loudly in the background of their life. I was born moshing to my own beat and have never swayed from my love of music. Spreading my passion through the written word is my soul’s purpose. My punk heart beats loudly with the rhythm of my rock soul. I plan to continue to mosh like no one gives a shit.
