London Noise-rock trio test plan share new single
“My Teeth” - released on 28th February

A cornerstone of their live shows, and charged with test plan’s distinctive blend of hypnotic
guitars, growling bass and delirious vocals - landing, according the band’s own mantra
“somewhere between dancing and moshing” - ‘My Teeth’ puts us in the shoes of a religious

figure losing their grip, their sanity and their teeth.

Written and Recorded in their North London rehearsal space with the help of producer
Darren Jones (Fat Dog, Gorillaz), the new single is released in anticipation of a debut trip
to the states for New York’s New Colossus Festival, as well as a tour of Europe in May.
Staying true to their independent spirit and DIY ethos, the track comes with a chaotic music

video, directed, as ever by drummer/vocalist Max Mason.

Centred around the track’s classically nightmarish central image, on the video the band say:
“Inspired by the late great David Lynch, Gasper Noe and Michel Gondry, the video offers a
surrealist collage of religious imagery and dream logic. It’s also the most ambitious and
complex video we’ve created so far, chronicling a tooth having a very bad day. Close friends,
including members of For Breakfast, DAAY, Burden Limbs and Black Bordello, helped design
and craft the costume, filmed, set designed, acted and appeared as extras. It was exciting to
have so many people come together and pour their energy into the shoot.”

Their first release of the year comes following a breakthrough 2024 which earned them a
landmark support slot for cult-legends A Place To Bury Strangers, debut trips to EU for
Paris’ Supersonic Block Party and Rotterdam’s Left Of The Dial (the latter inviting them
back for their NYE celebrations), as well as the fulsome backing of Anthony Fantano (The
Needle Drop), who placed spring single ‘Walking In A Vacuum’ in his top 50 tracks of 2024.
This bolsters previous support from key UK tastemakers So Young, John Kennedy (Radio

X) and Still Listening Magazine.

“As test plan continue to carve out their place within the London underground, their
reputation solidifies as a band unafraid to push the boundaries of dance-punk and noise
rock. If you’re anything like me, their sound will occupy a space in your head once you’ve

heard it—unsettling, exhilarating, and utterly unforgettable.”

So Young Magazine

“The long finale will be the scene of endangerment and lawless pogos, elbows in the air,
heads upside down, and like Jean-Claude Van Damme we can no longer guess which way
is up, busy as we are telling ourselves that the water in our body, in two or three songs there

will be none left.”
Sound of Violence

“It’s a candid look at how they blend their artistic influences with a DIY spirit to create
something truly unique in the landscape of London’s underground music scene.”
