Red Fang (LP)
VINYL FORMAT. Red Fang features four of western America's premier heavy metal rock and roll players in a band that's part Big Business plow, part Blue Cheer abandon, and several parts colossal metallic Portland spastic thunder. With exes ranging from Last of the Juanitas to Trumans Water, you sort of start to get a sense of what's going with these dudes. Heavy, but smart, weird heavy. This is what the Onion had to say: "In place of symmetry and precision, Red Fang smears roughhewn, ragged riffs that place the band much more in the camp of Big Business (or even The Sword minus the hobbit shtick). Out behind a new five-song tour EP, the band sports members from all over the place, including Last of the Juanitas, Facedowninshit, and even the legendary San Diego noise collective Trumans Water." This LP features both of their first CD-only (until now) EPs and one previously unreleased bonus track.
