Kick off 20th anniversary year with ‘Deep Cuts’ on March 14. Rarities collection features 26 songs collection from various b-sides, compilations and singles.

A preview of the album arrives today with the release of ‘It’s Always There’, a track from the deluxe version of ‘Whales And Leeches‘. “I remember really liking the melancholic vibe of ‘It’s Always There’ but Aaron and I had no vocal ideas coming to mind” recalls Bryan Giles. “When I lived in San Diego, I became friendly with Pall Jenkins, and was always a fan of Three Mile Pilot and The Black Heart Procession, so it was exciting for me to enlist his help bringing the song to life. I think he did a really beautiful job on it!”. ‘Deep Cuts’ also includes several covers, such as The Wipers’ ‘Over The Edge’ and Tubeway Army’s ‘Listen To Sirens’ along with rare Red Fang originals like ‘Antidote’ (from the mobile game, Red Fang: Headbang!) and ‘Wires (demo)’, which makes its vinyl debut. Band is Aaron Beam (bass, vocals, guitar, keyboards), Bryan Giles (guitar, vocals, synthesizers, happy accidents), John Sherman (drums) and David Sullivan (guitars). Over their 20-year career the Portland, Oregon-based band has released five studio albums: ‘Red Fang’ (2009), ‘Murder The Mountains’ (2011), ‘Whales And Leeches’ (2013), ‘Only Ghosts’ (2016) and ‘Arrows’ (2021). Their music videos have captivated a generation of heavy music fans, racking up tens of millions of views. From the beer-can armor of ‘Prehistoric Dog’ to Fred Armisen’s cameo in the zombie-themed ‘Blood Like Cream’, and the katana-gone-wrong chaos of ‘Arrows’ Red Fang has mastered the art of the music video like no other band.
