fang landshark lp

[@jonbush7467]

One of the all time American greats! I was in a band from Vegas called subterfuge..we got to play with Fang in 83'. I'm kind'a proud of that.

[@xonkism]

jon bush had your record. I remember it to be a good one.

[@jonbush7467]

Thanx Bradley! . . ..us guys in the band hate it. Mystic, Doug Moody..Philco did a horrible job on it. We were young and stupid and thought they would do us justice...sadly they let us down. Our demo we did in Vegas smoked the LP. But hey...it was punk rock right. Still..a very nice thing to hear. God Bless!

[@KurtKurdtNirvana]

jon bush Awesome, I jammed with a guy in Oakland in 1989 who liked Fang alot. Were they rotating vocalists? I dont remember dude, I was too loaded. nirvana.com

Allen Sentinery All I know is that pacifism sucks. Violence is fun.

[@jonbush7467]

All I'm saying. . .. is give war a chance!

[@jonbush2370]

The true brilliance of this album is the guitar work. That guitar is amazing.

[@NotAnAstronaut2k]

True, often imitated attitude punk rock guitar

[@roxybrooks6937]

Loved this in the 80's and still love it today! :)

[@deneseal5452]

Berkeley's best non-PC punks. Pure attitude.

[@helladankseedco.2411]

A dying breed...

[@patrickfontes1625]

They played Fresno a lot when I was a kid - still love this band One of my top ten punk/hardcore LPs of all time

[@eddiem5997]

With Capitol Punishment?

[@skinheadyouth66]

Yeah this is absolutely a top ten

[@ga121169]

Brings me back to my teens in Fresno! Loved this album then, love it now. Thanks for the treat!

[@TheSWolfe]

They put on a great show in S.F. last fall w/MDC & DK's. Hadn't seen/spoken to ST since Fang played my hometown early-80's, when bartending WV roomie brought them home for weekend-long afterparty. Amazing thing was, he rememered it! Was cool, having chance to intro adult offspring, as MDC/Dag Nasty, who played Berkeley's Gilman St. circa-87/88, was 1st show he ever attended, in a stroller!

[@georgesteen139]

In a stroller. Challenge !!!!😅

[@TheSWolfe]

@@georgesteen139 All-age venue, plus he's the son of Crankshaft, so...

[@TheSlamnpit]

I like the fact they had a song called junky dare and skinhead smoke dope. Great band

[@jacquelinemarie6325]

I still love this album and FANG!

[@antwyy3785]

Beautiful record! One of my best friends has a Comp teacher who runs a record shop and he let me part with this one. Fantastic front to back and sounds good here as well

[@davidlanham99]

[@JTPrime08]

Badass album.

[@vinyldiary6664]

For real

[@nevermind834]

Una de mis discos preferidos.

[@ThePriestmaniac1]

James hetfield digged this band

[@eddiem5997]

He must of had good taste at one time.

[@no-eb1yc]

that guitar is fucking radical,i love it!

[@dworthington59]

Longshoreman's Hall, SF (1984?). Angry Samoans, Fang and Suicidal Tendencies. Punk!

[@skinheadyouth66]

Oh man you're lucky I'm from NYC didn't see them til later like 86/87 w government issue. 1987

[@skinheadyouth66]

Cbgbs

[@theiceman6941]

I saw them back then also, in the Bay Area can't remember where (On Broadway? Probably). I remember one time was at an outdoor show with I think Reagan Youth, in Berkeley. Angry Samoans saw in '83 they were so great; not so great later on.

[@harisstournepiche5691]

To me this sounds like Hellhammer with a punk rock side, like it 🤘

[@metalheadgamer80]

Check out Crude SS. The guitar tone sounds exactly like Tom G Warrior’s! They also sounded crustier and more extreme than Fang.

[@mariaclaraarinelli4850]

a miliar stone in my heart...

[@pointlesspeasant2275]

Can hear Nirvana in Fang way before Nirvana, great stuff!!

[@carlcoger4198]

would never have made connection, but your totaly right

[@theiceman6941]

yeah I can hear that too now.

[@NotAnAstronaut2k]

Kurt can't play guitar like Tom Flynn

[@willcchiwill8836]

Nirvana covered Fang!

[@StarvinCannibal]

Jesus fuck, I been lookin' for this album forever.

[@aquacamel]

Oh no I fell in love with this lp playing it on the wrong speed. Thought they were a sludge band.

[@pepperrevolver2795]

early grunge garage rock + punk rock = grunge

[@Gonzoidzz]

It's nice to hear Californians kidding on they're from London. Sign o' those times.

[@brandongilmore8345]

PURE

[@jonbush2370]

You're right!... this is pure!

[@tribalguyyt]

MetallicA was also influenced by this band. They covered track #1 back in '85

[@skinheadyouth66]

Nirvana as well.

[@irishcash6996]

[@alexanderekizs3139]

buenìsimoo descubrimiento !!! Lml

[@georgesteen139]

Hard to fucking beat this is a fucking great record

[@pointlesspeasant2275]

The riff to "An Invitation" reminds me of Nirvana's Aneurysm.

[@johnnyjoestar1909]

well i mean, Kurt did list the 'landshark/where the wild thing are album' as his no. 5 inspiration to create music, so id doubt it'd be too much of a stretch to say he was inspired by them- I mean he has covered 'the money will roll right in'

[@willcchiwill8836]

People often point out the Pixies influence on Nirvana, but I hear an equally big Fang influence on early Nirvana songs

[@jlohmann13]

Ace

[@NeuralDagger]

Strangely i sought this out just cause i wanted to hear "destroy the handicapped", dunno why, horribly offensive, but i do love that song

[@Nerubize]

[@brentl.819]

[@jacktheriffer1523]

Communism and tooth decay

[@FaxanaduJohn]

Both are still a problem in the world today. It’s how they’ll make us pay!

[@carlokeshishian8891]

Been meaning to listen to this for a long time. First thing that strikes me with the opening track, is it reminds me of an L7 song I have on cassette from when I was a teenager.. this must have been an influence! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5W6nKGfprOhn7s

[@CS-mo7xp]

I've also been meaning to check this for a long time, since hearing Nirvana's live cover of the first track which was on one of the Outcesticide comps

[@acidium6]

okay..did someone whos name i will shorten describe FANG as a "grunge" band or did i read that wrong? Maybe somebody needs to be sent to PUnK RoCk ScH00L to learn how each geographical location with any kind of music scene at all between 1967 and sometime around 1992 had a punk rock sound that kind of identified the local..FANG is classic East Bay Punk (east SanFrancisco Bay area).. or to generalize..early 80s hardcore.. no disrespect intended and excuse me if i missed a part of the dialogue..but nobody with a history of nights where they drunkenly flailed in circles for hours enclosed by societies outcasts (self induced or otherwise) to the sound of the world rotting around them would refrain from making that correction.. or im just an ass...hole..

[@GKinslayer]

Nervana covered some Fang songs is most likely why people called them "grunge" and ignored the fact they started years before there was a Seattle sound.

[@replecon1408]

Mudhoney covered em first then Nirvana, but they did do shows in Seattle when the Seattle boys were cutting their punk teeth. They were a influence on Seattle hardcore. They played shows with Tales of Terror, Malfunkshun, Mr Epp(Mark Arms first band). That's why some airheads lump them in with grunge. Nowadays it's mainly Kurt C. Fanboys that slip up and call them the dreaded g word.

[@mediahits9683]

In the early 80s they, like Flipper were considered hardcore punk, except slower and more druggy inspired lyrics. Hence the 90s saw these bands as opposed to bands trying to play fast as possible became a more accessible sound for the mainstream. Shit happens!

[@ryanlee6538]

Listen to electric eels from Ohio 1973

[@calebbasile2219]

Is that a mud honey song??

[@Soandso801]

Mudhoney covered it. This came out while Mark and Steve were still teenagers playing in Mr. Epp & the Calculations.

[@peddr.o]
