Rapidly ascending London quartet Tooth have officially announced their hotly anticipated debut EP, Restless in Bloom, set for release on June 12th via the tastemaker imprint Soil To The Sun Recordings. The announcement arrives alongside the EP’s title track, a soaring, Midwestern-emo-tinged anthem that cements the band’s reputation as one of the most vital live acts on the London circuit. Fusing sharp, piercing guitar leads with vocalist Tom Pollock’s bittersweet reflections on the anxieties of early adulthood, the track serves as a definitive mission statement for a band currently capturing the attention of both critics and peers.
Vocalist Tom Pollock explains that the EP’s title was inspired by a poetry zine, capturing the specific, uneasy intersection of youth and growth,
The name ‘Restless in Bloom’ came from a poetry zine put together by Ben’s girlfriend. She explained the meaning behind the name, saying how our youth was growing into something else, blossoming into something beyond what we knew. We would fill our time fidgeting with the freedom around us, restless in apprehension of whatever’s coming once youth fades.
Joining the new title track are the band’s breakout singles “The Age of Innocence” and “Medicine,” which have already earned the band an esteemed spot on the NME 100 and heavy rotation across BBC Radio 1 and 6Music.
Following a blistering start to 2026 that included sold-out headline dates at The Windmill and The Lexington, Tooth is showing no signs of slowing down. Alongside a sprawling headline tour across the UK, the band is slated for a massive summer festival circuit, including Reading & Leeds, The Great Escape, and 2000 Trees. Perhaps most notably, the quartet will open for their primary influences, Sunny Day Real Estate, on their upcoming London and Manchester dates this July, a landmark moment for a band that is quickly blossoming into one of the most exciting prospects in modern indie-rock.
