Teether & Kuya Neil
There is no cadence like Teether’s to be found in Australia, where the immersive storytelling of his delivery filters through Neil’s unorthodox, hyper-modern production. They converge as vanguards of the Naarm/Melbourne underground scene together and in their own right, orchestrating a brooding and vivid world of two musical outsiders. Releasing their first mixtape GLYPH via Chapter Music in 2021, the duo saw global radio support across triple j, NTS, Dublab, fbi.radio, Triple R, Skylab and more, writeups via NME, Brooklyn Vegan, Acclaim, Tone Deaf, Beat Magazine, with four songs from the mixtape featuring in the iconic Australian Netflix series Heartbreak High the following year.
2023 follow-up STRESSOR charted in the Australian Independent Top 10, earned Feature Album placements across Triple R, fbi.radio, RTR FM and Edge Radio, and made it into end of year best of lists for Guardian Australia, Rolling Stone and NME, before receiving a nomination for Best Hip Hop Album at the 2024 AIR Awards. Renowned for their electric stage presence, the duo have performed at Bigsound, Melbourne Music Week, RISING, Meadow, Vivid Sydney, NGV Melbourne and Parramatta Lanes, supporting the likes of international peers MC Yallah & Debmaster and They Hate Change, as well as veteran alt-rap outfit Shabazz Palaces and Chicago Footwork pioneer RP Boo.
