Album Review: Red Fang - Whales And Leeches

Forget Metallica and The Offspring – stoner heroes Red Fang were the breakout stars of Soundwave 2013. And on album number three the Portland-based beardoes continue their quest to destroy the world one heavy yet catchy riff at a time. While there's nothing here as immediate as YouTube sensation Prehistoric Dog, the pure energy of Blood Like Cream and fuzzed-out Every Little Twist remains highly infectious for the unwary listener. Red Fang have gone beyond being simply another 'stoner' band – their stellar riffs and unquestioned passion have them poised for breakout success.
