Rose With Teeth (Music)
"Kiss me, I'm Irish! :'C"

Rose with Teeth is the Irish musical project of Irishwoman (IWA for short) Angie "A.N.G.I.E." Sutherland, an Irish-American musician, ex-Catholic veteran, mystic, writer, and multimedia artist. The project primarily consists of angie, her guitar, and her blade.

Originally, it was formed as an experimental apocalyptic folk project, putting it especially in the vein of bands like Current 93 and Death in June, but has branched out to experiment with many other genres, including industrial and garage rock. Expect "mystical music for traumatized teens" and "Songs for Terry in Fifth Grade Who Enjoys Songs."

Her music can be found on [[Rivela.com Bandcamp]].

Rose with Teeth's music contains the following tropes:

  • As the Good Book Says...: The liner notes to The Idols Have Been Cast Down and Rent consist of quotations from the Book of Revelation.
  • Chummy Commies: angie is very open about being a left communist, or more precisely a communizer of the Endnotes variety.
  • The Cover Changes the Meaning: Her version of the Chilean socialist song "Venceremos", closing The Idols Have Been Cast Down and Rent, changes references to Chile to references to the world at large, and is sung by contributors from all over the world.
  • Censored Title: "H​*​*​*​*​*​*e".
  • Literary Allusion Title: Many track titles and much of the lyrics on her albums, as well as the project name itself (a reference to a line from Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations.)
  • Shout-Out: The album art of The Idols Have Been Cast Down and Rent is an intentional pastiche of David Tibet of Current 93's painting style. Also likes Super Paper Mario.
