The Sword & Red Fang
Lineup
The Sword is an American heavy metal band from Austin, Texas. Formed in 2003, the band is composed of vocalist and guitarist John D. Cronise, guitarist Kyle Shutt, bassist Bryan Richie and drummer Santiago "Jimmy" Vela III for most of its tenure.
“I like the idea of the record starting in a way that doesn’t make any sense at all for a Red Fang record.” That’s vocalist/bassist Aaron Beam talking about “Take It Back,” the opening track—or “sintro,” part song, part intro—of Red Fang’s fifth album, Arrows. “It reminds me of a time before people listened to music digitally—and they listened to full albums,” drummer John Sherman adds.
Spoon Benders is a three-piece punk rock band from Portland, Oregon, delivering raw volume, sharp hooks and nonstop momentum. Stripped down and loud, the band thrives on a high-energy live show that feels just barely contained—fast, sweaty, and direct, with nothing wasted.
