The Sawtooth Grin is a mathcore band that formed in 1999 in Montrose, New York. They went through several line-up changes before disbanding in late 2004. Their first EP, "Cuddlemonster", was released on the label Dead By 1918. A second EP called "Pervavor" was written and recorded in 2004. It featured a new guitarist, Will Joel, and a sound change from grindish mathcore toward death metal, but didn't see an official release until 2011.
The Sawtooth Grin at times included drummer Jon Karel (The Number Twelve Looks Like You, Horse The Band, ex-The Heatherton Heatwave), bassist John E. Hickey III (ex-Deflatio), and Chris Lombardi (ex-Sex Positions, ex-The Heatherton Heatwave), among others.
