Video: Fang Island – Sideswiper

Since becoming temporarily obsessed with Brooklyn’s Fang Island precisely two days ago, I’ve stumbled on some of the most passionate descriptions and comments about this band:  “It’s exactly what Wyld Stallyns would have sounded like if they had been a real band,” “This song would be playing at the end of the movie of my life, after I killed all the zombies, saved my best friends life, and won the heart of the girl of my dreams,” and of course their self-descriptor, “Everyone high-fiving everyone.” They take that X-Games pop-punk sound, but class it up by laying into it and letting it rip with a little prog and some towering jams. This segment from the studio session at Seattle’s KEXP is a great introduction (the ending is epic).

  1. I now have a sudden urge to chug a 2 liter bottle of Mountain Dew and consult my D&D Monster Manuel and generate my character’s hit points with a 12-sided die.

    Actually in all seriousness, that sound pretty damn good, those guys can shred.
