Backstory:
Great Tooth was formed in the small coastal town of Torquay, Australia in 2015. The band, consisting of members Aaron Hughes (lead vocals, guitar), Christopher Baker (bass, backing vocals), and Alex Jennings (drums), were childhood friends growing up sharing a common interest in music. The band name ‘Great Tooth’ was inspired by their frequent trips to the beach and their fascination with the Great White Sharks. They started their journey playing at local bars and pubs, their music resonating with the locals and tourists. They were signed by an indie record company after winning a local battle of the bands competition.

“Crashing Waves”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
(C)Crashing waves, (G)under the moonlight
(Am)We used to talk, (Em)until the sunrise
(F) Remember us, (C)on those summer nights
(G)Barefoot, (Am)in the sand, (Em)hand in hand, (F)in the torchlight
(Chorus)
(C)Crashing waves, (G)you’re like the ocean
(Am)Wild and free, (Em)full of emotion
(F)Every tide, (C)brings a new devotion
(G)With every wave, (Am)I feel the motion (Em)of your love
(Verse 2)
(C)Under the stars, (G)we made a promise
(Am)To be together, (Em)despite the distance
(F)In every letter, (C)I feel your presence
(G)In every word, (Am)I see your essence (Em)in the lines
(Chorus)
(C)Crashing waves, (G)you’re like the ocean
(Am)Wild and free, (Em)full of emotion
(F)Every tide, (C)brings a new devotion
(G)With every wave, (Am)I feel the motion (Em)of your love
