This awesome/funny video of Red Fang--the much-hyped quantity of heavy rawk riffage with ex-members of Portland's Last of the Juanitas and Party Time--has been getting passed around a lot lately. These bands never set out to reinvent rock 'n' roll, but they were tremendous and fun every time I saw 'em play live. Now that there's a fast-growing brigade of neck-tattooed bro-dawgs singing Red Fang's praises, I'm afraid I'm gonna hafta enjoy them from a comfortable distance. Or is there an antidote I can take? At least Red Fang are making the best shotgunningest beer-soaked videos. This one's been going around for a while...
...but there's another one, and you can only see it at the Monster Energy website(!?!?!)...

(You can get over the shame!)
But y'know who's the best maker of pump-up-jams today???
MILK MUSIC!
Rising from Seattle/Olympia and the ashes of Catatonic Youth, they are exceedingly likable, totally 90s yet timeless, and achieve a very high quotient of melodic and rockin'. You can hear obvious strains of anthemic indie-rock a'la Guided By Voices with a guitar style that's raised a few ludes to Dino Jr. level, AND it seems like the guitarist cultivated a serious Hendrix appreciation via Greg Sage of The Wipers (check the nifty chord voicings that enhance the expressiveness of these riffs!).
They played the best show that no one saw in Sacto last year. It was just me and members of the other bands, punching each other as hard as possible in their guts in time to the riffs. Yes, that's how much this band gets you pumped. It's almost as if somebody commissioned Bob Pollard to revamp his own songs to provide bumper music for sports broadcasts or X Games montages, and pulled it off in the best way possible. I wish I could listen to it at the gym.
Here are some links for Milk Music listening...
Let these guys get you pumped when they come to your city!
