Red Fang

About

Red Fang isn’t just a band; they’re a carefully constructed, beer-soaked wrecking ball, smashing through the pretense of modern rock with gleeful abandon. Hailing from Portland, Oregon, their sound is a potent cocktail of sludge metal's crushing weight, stoner rock's hazy psychedelia, and punk's raw aggression. Think Black Sabbath meets Melvins in a smoky backroom, fuelled by cheap beer and a shared disdain for the mundane. Formed in the mid-2000s, Red Fang clawed their way from the underground with relentless touring and a series of increasingly impressive albums. 2011's "Murder the Mountains" proved a breakthrough, earning them wider recognition and festival slots. Their music videos, often featuring absurdist humor and chaotic visuals, have become a signature, garnering millions of views and solidifying their cult status. Red Fang's appeal lies in their unpretentious approach to heavy music. They aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel, but they're damn good at driving the hell out of it. Collaborations with artists like Pallbearer have showcased their ability to push the boundaries of their sound while staying true to their core. Continually touring and releasing albums, Red Fang remains a force to be reckoned with in the heavy music landscape, a testament to the enduring power of riffs, beer, and a good sense of humor.
