The Strumbellas continue to uplift and break your heart at the same time in "Skin of My Teeth"

Our old friends, the Canadian rockers The Strumbellas, are back with a blaze that won't go out this time around in their latest track "Skin of My Teeth". The third single from their upcoming EP, "Burning Bridges Into Dust," out October 24, 2025, might be their most emotionally charged work. The track is a meditation on self-doubt, tenacity, and the silent strength you find when everything is screaming at you to quit. Written by Trent Dabbs, the band, and John-Luke Carter, produced by Chad Copelin, the song is both intimate and anthemic,  it's the kind of track that meets you where you are but lifts you still higher.

With Jimmy Chauveau's throaty, soaring vocals cutting through the mix, the song plunges into the grittiness of resolve that point where pursuing your dreams becomes not unlike climbing an eroding mountain. Supported by a wash of David Ritter's keys, Darryl James' pulsing basslines, and Isabel Ritchie's moody violin textures, "Skin of My Teeth" constructs a landscape that is as vulnerable as it is fierce. Jon Hembrey's variations cut through with just the right amount of determination, grounding the band's signature energy-tweaking folk-rock sass in a desperate sense of surviving.

"Skin of My Teeth" is a gripping overture to "Burning Bridges Into Dust", where The Strumbellas take the next step forward in their journey, a course that leads directly from their collective heart but defiantly avoids sounding defeated. It's a reminder that sometimes survival is victory enough, and that even when you're hanging on by a thread, hope still hums in the distance.
