Mixing of Fangs Out LP is underway at Twin Dragon Studios
Fangs Out!Tracking at Empress of Sound went swimmingly last month with Fangs Out. The duo came into our analog studios (Empress of Sound) rehearsed and ready – the resulting 10 songs we captured on analog tape sound amazing already. Chris and Greg will be spending the next few weeks mixing this session. Etxe Records will be releasing this album in the Spring/Summer of 2010.
Bis Aufs Messer (Berlin, Germany) review of Girl Loves Distortion’s “You Better Run, Your Highness” LP
From Berlin, Germany –“the most seriously impressive talent the band has, at least as far as this listener is concerned, is in the songwriting department. To put it simply, these guys and gal have a knack for crafting catchy tunes that stick with you like bubblegum on the bottom of a sneaker. Furthermore, there is an urgency, honesty and heft about Girl Loves Distortion’s particular brand of rough-edged guitar pop that can’t be ignored”. Read the full review and other press here
Fangs Out recording in Washington DC at Empress of Sound Studios
We are happy to report more movement and progress from the Fangs Out camp. The post-punk duo is coming to DC in December 2009 for a few days to record their debut full length at Etxe affiliate Empress of Sound Studios. Chris from Girl Loves Distortion will be producing. Greg from The Antiques will be engineering. Stay tuned. . . .
Exclaim! Music (Canada) Record Review for “You Better Run, Your Highness”
“Throughout the album the layers peel away to reveal a fulfilling performance, but the "you better run, you better hide" experience is always fun. Electric guitars are a staple of this album, most evident on "You Better Run, Your Highness," in a dotted and dashed kind of routine where the guitar lies directly on the bass, providing a rogue and risky touch.” Read the full review and other press here
Fangs Out joins the Etxe Records family of artists!
We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Toledo OH’s post-punk duo Fangs Out have joined our roster of artists. Girl Loves Distortion came back from a Midwest tour and couldn’t stop talking about their set. Stay tuned for more details on their 2010 release.
Tom Haugen’s (Go211) Record Review for “You Better Run, Your Highness”
“A warm, layered disc of precise instrumentation and catchy, melodic rockers, this is one of the most exciting bands to come out of the DC area in a long time. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys music from such labels as Dischord, De Soto or Slowdime.” Read this full review and other press here
