Editorial Reviews

Residing somewhere between Black Flag and Black Sabbath, Red Fang recall a time when rock was more urgent and a little horrifying. Synthesizing a variety of heavy music influences and their own distinct musical identity, the band can easily shift from barn-burning punk to mid-tempo, hyperdistorted bass destruction all while maintaining a cohesive sound. Red Fang create gigantic rock songs that are easy to listen to (not easy listening, mind you) and qualifies the simultaneous usage of both the thinking and the banging head, which are usually mutually exclusive.

This album rules- anyone who loves the Sword or something in that vain will be very pleasantly surprised by this up and coming Portland, OR band. The record is well-produced but not too slick to betray a sense of the raw power of the songs. Great riffs, great hooks, solid rock all the way!

A week after our daughter was born I had to head out with a friend to do some physical work at his place... I mention this because of how tired I was when I got into my car to drive to my friend's place... I decided to take Red Fang with me as I not only not had the chance to listen to it since receiving it in the mail from Amazon the day before, but forgot what they sounded like when I clicked on 'Listen to Samples' prior to purchasing it...

No need to stop for a coffee! Man, was I blown away with how heavy and how awesome the music was... Shades of Melvins... Shades of Fu Manchu... Red Fang is just the panacea one needs to start a day of physical labour off right...

Chapeau!

This was a band i checked out for no other reason than the band name sounded cool, and so i checked out a sampling of their tunes here on Amazon. What i found was a band after my own heart. Very much in the vein of bands like QOTSA, Fu Manchu, and the like, but a bit heavier overall. This is definitely some good driving music that can also be enjoyed while chilling at home, toiling away at work, or pretty much any other setting. I really, really love this album and am glad to have run across it. I have to thank Amazon also...if it hadnt shown up in my recommendations, i probably would never have heard of them, but the fact that it did made it possible to become one of my favorites. So thank you Amazon for that one, and....

Enjoy!
