Album Notes & Community Reviews

Channeling the raw, swaggering energy of mid-century rock and roll through a distorted, modern lens, 'Plastic Fang' is a frantic exercise in high-voltage blues deconstruction. The album pairs a stylized, almost campy aesthetic with uncompromisingly gritty musicianship.
