Walk the Moon has a new video for the song “Tiger Teeth,” but the song has a backstory that really goes back quite a way.

Frontman Nicholas Petricca says in a release accompanying the clip that “‘Tiger Teeth’ has been known to [our] fans since years before it was recorded, when it only existed as a rare live video taken on someone’s phone that was circulating the internet.  After countless fan requests for the song to be released, it finally made it onto an album last November with What If Nothing. 

“We knew we had to create something special for the fans who’ve been so loyal to the song for so long. So while on tour in Asia, we flew a skeleton crew out to meet us in between gigs in Japan. The music video takes place on location in the streets of Tokyo and the nature of Kamakura, which we think is a perfect match for the melancholy of ‘Tiger Teeth.’”

Walk the Moon has also announced the dates for a Winter 2019 Tour, starting January 23rd in Louisville and going through February 17th in Knoxville.
