Scary, a giant spider!
Aegis Fang are great guys. I met them many moons ago when they were just getting started as a professional(ish) rock band and hungry to build a following.
They offered to help in anyway they could and it happened to be 24 Hour Relay for The Kids season… so they became part of the Amalgamated Team Zone.
They have sent me some songs and demos over the years, a few making it on my old podcast Capital Rock City.
The style of Aegis Fang might be described as a grungey blues? sure.
I immediately gravitated to a few songs I am familiar with, “Ghetto Man” and “Foot Down.”
The record plays like a gritty chill. I have it on while doing my work. Not too many highs or lows. That might not translate to pop stardom or a track showing up in a crucial scene of Grey’s Anatomy, but allows the record to be more a working class soundtrack to the day’s chores.
A song I really enjoyed comes late on the disc, “Island Life.” Hey, I live on the Island too!
I’d say this is a hard record for me to review because I’ve met Nat and Mike and Colin many times in the past and they carry themselves like such rockstars. I can’t help but smile while enjoying their passion.
Take a second and hit their MySpace and have a listen if you like a gritty, Island-hazed style of Blues music.
Go with yourself.
