Feast Of Snakes

***From outta Dallas, Texas, comes this new psycho four-piece ready to rip you a new aural a-hole. They swiped their name from a berserk novel by Harry Crews and match the insanity of that book with grimy ass-shakin' swagger, spats of slide guitar, and the odd pained outburst of screaming distortion. Think the noisiest and most overwrought moments from Birthday Party, The Scientists and Black Flag. Alex Cuervo's name should be familiar to In The Red aficionados; he was in Blacktop and the King Sound Quartet, and is currently in the Gospel Swingers and Now Time Delegation. James Arthur was in Fireworks and the Necessary Evils. Together in Feast of Snakes they've found a means to channel what is, apparently, their abundant supply of angst and rage. They've already released one vinyl seven-inch EP in Australia (long out of print), which they're following up with this limited edition, 8-song vinyl-only pressing on In The Red. Watch for the band's west coast tour this May.
