As they prepare for the October 15th release of their third studio album WHALES AND LEECHES via Relapse, the Portland, OR based rock group RED FANG will premiere the new song “DOEN” today (October 4) on SIRIUS XM’s “Liquid Metal” at 9:05 pm ET. Starting today, the group is launching a virtual beer shot-gunning challenge for fans, and if enough users share this game, they’ll be able to unlock the new RED FANG track “Behind the Light.” Play and share the game here: http://beer.redfang.net/. Now through October 22, fans can upload their own guitar solo over the band’s first single “Blood Like Cream” to compete in the RED FANG Soundcloud and MetalSucks guitar solo contest. The band will handpick a grand prize winner on October 23. To enter, visit: http://tinyurl.com/q7h5ejx.
Masters of the hard rock hook, RED FANG worked with producer Chris Funk (Decemberists) and mixer Vance Powell (White Stripes, Raconteurs, Kings of Leon). This same team worked on the group’s last album Murder the Mountains (April 2011), which sold over 50,000 albums under the radar and allowed the band to tour with sold-out shows and attract rabid fans for over two years. With the help of guests Mike Scheidt (Yob) and Pall Jenkins (The Black Heart Procession), WHALES AND LEECHES propels RED FANG into the upper stratosphere of hard rock and metal elite.
As they prepare to kick off their U.S. tour October 9, the Portland, OR-based group have announced they’ll return to Europe starting January 18 in Genève, CH. See all confirmed dates below for RED FANG:

About RED FANG:
Formed in 2005, RED FANG—Bryan Giles (Guitar/Vocals), Aaron Beam (Bass/Vocals), David Sullivan (Guitar), John Sherman (Drums)–has two albums under their belt: their 2009 self-titled debut on Sargent House and 2011’s Murder the Mountains on Relapse Records. Listen to both of the above albums streaming on www.redfang.bandcamp.com. RED FANG quickly became known for their series of hilarious videos directed by Whitey McConnaughy(Band Of Horses, Flogging Molly, Turbonegro). Each clip was picked up by Reddit and went viral, garnering over 1 million+ views. Watch “Wires”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQPfQvLIseA and “Hank Is Dead”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgV7hnjoyt0. The band spent the past few years touring the world and wining over audiences at clubs and festivals like All Tomorrow’s Parties, Rock on the Range, Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival and Metallica’s Orion Music & More Fest. After more high-profile tours with Mastodon, Dillinger Escape Plan, Helmet, Saint Vitus and more, the band expanded their global footprint with a European trek and festival appearances across the continent. 2013 promises to be the biggest year for RED FANG yet, with their intense live performances, unique brand of humor, catchy songwriting and independent attitude—they show no signs of slowing down.
