“We’re a pretty dark band—I don’t see this record getting a lot of radio play.” There’s a warmth in the voice of Bryan Giles, guitarist for Portland, Ore., band Red Fang, that belies his group’s darkness. The band just released its third album, Whales And Leeches (Relapse), after a summer raging across the festivals and rock clubs of Europe. Through a series of hilarious viral videos and years of intensely cathartic, energetic shows, the group has earned a reputation as one of heavy music’s premier party bands—whether it wants that title or not. Giles will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our new Red Fang feature.
Giles: First off I’d like to share a goofy clip from the intertubes called Drinking Out Of Cups. Apparently, it’s audio taken from a Baltimore DJ as he channel surfs on one substance or another (both!?). I’ve watched it way too many times. It just gets better and better. “Not now, not never!”
