Wires
The beer-armor anthem -- the breakout single from Red Fang's 2011 album Murder the Mountains, produced by Chris Funk (The Decemberists) and mixed by Vance Powell at Blackbird in Nashville. Bryan Giles and David Sullivan build the riff on Red Fang's signature rig: solid-state Sunn Beta Lead heads cranked into a wall of blunt, fizzy high-gain crunch, tuned down to drop C. No frills, no fuss -- just two guitars and a hooky, fuzzed-out groove.
