Necking is a post-punk quartet hailing from Vancouver's vibrant DIY community. Known locally for their explosive live shows and a sharp sense of humor, the band bring it all on their full-length debut, Cut Your Teeth, produced by Jesse Gander (Japandroids, White Lung). Singer Hannah Karren, guitarist Nada Hayek, bassist Sonya R, and drummer Melissa Kuipers converge on an empowering, high-energy collection reflecting the personal growth and friendships fortified with a collective series of dating woes. The Grey Estates describes it as a "bumpy, but joyful ride; like an old wooden roller coaster that throws you for a loop, but leaves you itching to get back on and enjoy the thrill again." Out on Mint Records.
