Bad Reputation Records 2002
Is it lame to post your own band's record? It probably is, but I don't care because so few people own a copy of this (I know because I've got hundreds of extras in my spare room) that if even 4 or 5 people download it, it'll have doubled it's listening audience... and what's wrong with a little shameless self promotion anyways? THE FANGS was a band that went through many many incarnations, and members, with Mat (vox/guitar) being the only constant. These songs were recorded by the final line-up, which was comprised of Mat, myself (drums) and Sarah (bass/vox), between 1999 and 2001 maybe (I don't remember exactly). This is more of a compilation than a proper album, cuz there's songs from at least 5 different recording sessions on here. We seemed to record constantly, but never did anything with the finished product 'til Mat and I decided to release this posthumously. Why put out a record after the band's broken up? Fucking good question! I guess we wanted to have something to show for all the hard work, energy, time, money, and creativity that was put into the band. The sound is a mix of Punk, Rock'n'Roll, Garage, and maybe just a hint of Metal here and there. I didn't even know if I'd like this record when I ripped it, cuz it'd been such a long time since I'd heard it, but I'm happy to say that I still love this band and these songs. We played tirelessly around the Toronto area for a couple of years to no avail, and in the end it all got to be a bit much, so we called it a day. If you dig this record, I'll send you a copy for free, I'd just need some $ to cover the cost of postage and it's yours!

This is really good! Love the guitar work and the overall power. It's not what I'd play every day, but it's really catchy. Can't see why such a band doesn't get "bigger" as it sounds pretty popular in a way.
What's up jerky?
The tape I made of your band Nosferatu playing live is posted here,also the solo demo you gave me.

Do you have any Necromancy tapes? I have some mp3's of the 1985 /86 demos & rehearsals.
I am missing the 1988 demo.
Simply great. Please give me an adress where I can send the money and I hope to receive this vinyl for my collection.
I follow your blog for a long time and must tell you that your posts always prove to be of a high value and quality for readers. Keep it up.
I LOVE IT !!!
one of my favourite bands and records ever. I never did like the dirty bass tone cause you could never hear it, but overall i love this record. Was great to push this band on people over the years, but to no avail. i once owned 20 copies of this LP!
If your bass ain't distorted... you ain't doing it right!
