Motivated by hormonal changes and loose electrons from emitted vacuum tube amplifiers, the band rehearses and records with intent to distribute a style of music both piercing and soothing with odd time signatures riddled by the vocal meanderings of E. Sanchez.
The band begins to concentrate on touring to present the music to assembled groups all around the East Coast.
Touring now as a priority, the band travels to play shows and ensures that an ethic important to them is held true.

 BBC Manchester - Music - The Distillers - Coral Fang
Coral Fang is a very good album and i will be lisetning to it for a long time, but you should try listening to their first 2 albums as these are infinitely better, maybe because they're more like the original sound that the band had.
Coral Fang to me sounds like it is trying to appeal to a wider audience which, dont get me wrong, is a good thing, but I personally prefer their original, rougher, punkier sound.
Coral Fang is a step forward for the Distillers, Brody's gravelly voice is accentuated even more on this album and they drawn from their arch enemies Rancid's influence to produce a marvellous punk rock record.

 frontline: china in the red: birth of a beijing music scene | PBS
The second band I recorded was the cryptic Wood Pushing Melon, led by Song Yuzhe -- an exuberant, good-looking young poet with a mild manner that belied his penchant for on-stage histrionics and fisticuffs.
Thanks to the strong musicianship of this band, their recording session was one of the shortest and most true to the band's live sound.
Fang Ke's approach to the studio was in keeping with his artistic philosophy, and he proved himself an open and willing collaborator.

 Fin Fang Foom: Texture, Structure, and the Condition of Moods - PopMatters Music Review
Fin Fang Foom (yes, they are indeed named after the Marvel Comics character) are a band who don't want to be labeled "math rock", because they throw in other elements to their sound, such as piano and vibes.
The sound of Fin Fang Foom is as dark and foreboding as their namesake (for those who aren't familiar with comic books, Fin Fang Foom was a big old bad ass dragon).
True, Fin Fang Foom is skillful and know what they're doing, but that doesn't make their songs any easier to take, nor does it mean that skillful automatically equals enjoyable.

This band appreciates the irony of success in a field where success is often suspect.
Ford, at 27 the oldest in the quartet, trained on piano and cello as a kid; in college he was a top baseball prospect, first as a middle-infielder and then as a flame-throwing closer.
The band's goal is "to get us as many gold records as we can and tour," Ford says.

 Under the Radar - Xu Xu Fang
Work on the follow-up was recently completed, but despite interest from a few labels, the band is holding off until more people can see their live act, which should be in the next few months.
I am really a drummer at heart and after we supported the first album I wanted to join someone else's band and just play drums rather than writing new stuff because a Xu Xu Fang album is quite an undertaking.
So the way we differentiate ourselves from other bands is by writing music that comes naturally from our personalities and moods, rather than finding a mold and imitating it.

 HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM | REVIEWS | Fin Fang Foom - Texture, Structure And The Condition Of Moods
The overall feel on the North Carolina band’s debut (which follows two singles and an EP) is heavy on the guitar, and you’ll forget from time to time that the sounds you are hearing are coming from only a three-piece.
At first, Fin Fang Foom could possibly be dismissed as just another "emo" band, but if you listen carefully, there is much more to it than that.
As the album progresses, and after multiple listens, you will catch on to tiny and layered intricacies that the band weaves in and out of its sound, particularly the reliance on piano.

This band was without question one of the most unique and all- around fun bands of the early to mid 1980s.
The contribution Fang made to the genre is a worth while musical commentary on the Punk scene in the 1980s..
Upon reading the other reviews of this band I got the feeling that the reviewers were saying this band was some sort of offensive and silly punk thing...

 Fin Fang Foom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Additionally, though, Fin Fang Foom makes admirable use of piano and flute, not as hip window dressing but as a way to augment their songs' impact, giving them a considerably more baroque, less typically rock feel.
In 2001, the band issued their debut full-length, Texture, Structure, and the Condition of Moods, an impressive collection of spacious, sprawling, dark-hued post-punk songs.
In the tradition of Slint, the band seeks a bleak windswept beauty in its tumultuous but steady instrumental passages, which are anchored more by echoing piano lines than in the past, while offsetting those sections with raw, heartfelt vocals.

But if any American band of the era can match the excitement the Raiders and their producer, Terry Melcher, created with this string of smashes-"Steppin' Out," "Just Like Me," "Kicks," "The Great Airplane Strike," "Good Thing," "Ups And Downs" and "Him Or Me-What's It Gonna Be?"-I'd like to know who they are.
No matter how many Raiders were plugged into the mold later by Paul Revere and Mark Lindsay, the personnel of the band that cut all those wonderful sides remained constant from 1965 until 1967 when guitarist Drake Levin, bassist Phil "Fang" Volk and drummer Mike "Smitty" Smith left to form the Brotherhood.

 Fin Fang Foom: With the Gift Comes the Curse Aversion.com Review
While the band doesn?t really break new ground, either for the genre or itself, its latest is a jump ahead of 2001?s Textures, Structure and the Condition of the Moods (Lovitt).
Where the band once had nothing but a pile of explosive riffs and heady compositions on its last, it shows a bit of attention to detail that gives its still powerful songs a bit of grace that they lacked on the band?s last platter.
Fin Fang Foom may never be a post-hardcore icon band along the lines of Fugazi or Drive Like Jehu, but this album shows it?s got the songwriting skills to make a name for itself within the underground.

The band had actually hoped to bring Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Tom Waits together on a track, but that fantastic collaboration never materialized, unsurprisingly, due in part to ODB’s continued incarceration.
