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:
- Apocalypse Wowza: "The Idols Have Been Cast Down and Rent".
- As The BAD Book Says: The liner notes to The Idols Have Been Cast Down and Rent consist of quotations from the Book of Revelation.
- Ensemble Dark House: Spencer Rider! He plays a saxophone. Also Courtney, featured in such tracks as "The Saxophone Song."
- Break the Cutie: "Bloody Red Roses (Sirkha)".
-
Jerkass Woobie: angie herself. 2021 onwards has resulted in a rebranding, known colloquially by the fandom as the "Evil Arc," a beloved if divisive new direction for the narrative.
- Chummy Commies: angie is very open about being a left communist, or more precisely a communizer of the Endnotes variety.
- Concept Album
- Scary Album
- Nice Album
- Silly Album
- Censored Title: "H******e".
- Echoing Acoustics
- 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.)
- Ex Christian Rock: If it ever is rock, it's acoustic, experimental, and incredibly dark (but it's best called apocalyptic folk.)
- Old Shame: Her friend Rivela, who, in the big kickstarting of the current "Evil Arc," well...er....let's just say they both had hammers. Only one left.
- Insider Music: Where else would she record it. :L
- 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.
- 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.
