Possible re-press in the works ahead of the reunion tour
Tickets to Year 33: TEETH The Reunion – Legacy Tour (Manila leg), now officially on sale via SM Tickets
The limited-edition vinyl pressing of TEETH’s self-titled debut album has officially sold out within a day of its release, as reported by Backspacer Records, the independent label and record store responsible for the album’s pressing and distribution.
The overwhelming response serves as proof of the record’s enduring impact in Filipino alternative rock more than three decades after its original release.
“Aside from being fans ourselves of so many OPM artists like Teeth, we have always looked forward to expanding the range of titles we produce and have on our shelves,” shared Robert Tuazon, founder of Backspacer Records. “Teeth’s debut album is the longest-standing (1995) album we have had the honor of bringing to life. While we did expect a strong response from the fans for this iconic album, the demand speaks to both the generational impact of this album, and the recognition of physical media as touchstones to the culture then and now.”
Certified Double Platinum by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI) for selling more than 80,000 copies, the album continues to captivate generations of listeners with its relatable lyrics and grunge-driven rock sound. This year’s edition marks the album’s first-ever vinyl release, newly remastered by award-winning mastering engineer Shinji Tanaka.
Teeth guitarist Jerome Velasco expressed gratitude to the fans who have bought the record. “For our longtime fans, we hope the moment the needle drops feel like a total time machine. And for the new generation hearing these tracks on analog for the first time, we hope they feel all the raw heart, sweat, and unfiltered energy of the ’90s.”
The limited-edition anniversary vinyl pressing from Backspacer Records includes a gatefold jacket with reimagined front and back cover artwork hand-painted by Nix Puno, never-before-seen photos, rare articles, and original handwritten lyrics from Mike Dizon’s personal vault, plus liner notes by Diego Castillo.
Drummer Mike Dizon said the band was overwhelmed by the demand, particularly after being decades away from the spotlight. He also revealed that discussions are underway for a possible re-press ahead of the band’s upcoming tour.
“Selling out in nearly a day after the announcement is an important accomplishment for the group. Reordering is easy, but the tricky part is getting the go signal from the mother label, Warner, to allow us to reprint a small batch more. The great news is we’re already working on it, and we hope to have new stocks available in time for our reunion shows.”
The sold-out vinyl release coincides with Year 33: TEETH The Reunion – Legacy Tour, a 5-city celebration of the band’s legacy with stops in Singapore, Manila, Cebu, Davao, and Tagum.
The Manila leg, serving as the second stop of the tour, will see the iconic Pinoy rock band stage a full-length concert celebrating more than three decades of music, friendship, and rock n’ roll fun.
Produced by Minsan Studio, Year 33: TEETH The Reunion – Legacy Tour (Manila leg) will take place on September 5, 2026, at SM North EDSA Skydome from 6:00 p.m.

About Teeth
Formed in 1993, TEETH is one of the most important bands that emerged from the alternative rock explosion of the ‘90s. The band is currently composed of original members Glenn Jacinto on vocals, Jerome Velasco on guitars, Pedz Narvaja on bass, Mike Dizon on drums, and Dok Sergio on guitars, formerly on bass.
Known for their mix of alternative rock and grunge, with shoegaze influences heard in their third full-length album I Was A Teenage Tree, TEETH left a permanent imprint on OPM with their distinct blend of melodic songwriting and unconventionally gritty sound, eventually earning them awards, including three NU Rock Awards and two MTV Pilipinas Awards nominations.
