Details:
The guys in Red Fang have played in a crapload of bands including, but not limited to: Bad Wizard, Last of the Juanitas, Shiny Beast, Facedowninshit, Lachrymator, Party Time, Trumans Water, and All Night. This is some serious heavy riffage that sometimes sits firmly in the lap of stoner metal and other times flirts with mid '90s AmRep bands. Melodic and pummeling all at once. This EP features 4 originals and a fantastic cover of a song by the obscure '70s combo, Dust, w/ the best monster fuzz-bass solo you'll hear this year.

"Red Fang recalls a time when rock was urgent and a little horrifying," the Portland, Ore., band's bio declares. For once, the press release speaketh the truth. These guys are raw, occasionally distorted, and loud as fuck; they've opened for the Sword, the Saviours, the Fucking Champs, and the Melvins, and they've got a distinct brand of metal â shreddin', but with a groove â that's formidable on disc but absolutely kills live. I'd impart some kind of face-melting warning here, but a face melt by the Fang ain't something you wanna miss.

During a recent string of dates on the East Coast with metal technicians The Fucking Champs, Portlandâs Red Fang must have seemed like barbarian invaders by comparison. 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.
