There are at least 5 acts called Fang:

1. The first rumblings from Bay Area street demons Fang came around ‘80, with the experimental psychedelic 2-song EP “Yukon Fang,” the brainchild of guitarist Tom Flynn. After this record’s release, vocalist Sammy (a.k.a. “Slammie,” “Sammytown”) was recruited from a punk band called Shut Up, and the classic “Fun With Acid” was recorded. This appeared on the ‘82 Alternative Tentacles/MRR comp. double LP “Not So Quiet On The Western Front,” soon followed by the 8-song 12” EP “Landshark,” in ‘82.

Few punk records of the era smack of such drunken, drug-fueled nihilistic chicanery, and the influence the “Landshark” record has had on West Coast punk rock is undeniable. Classics like “Law & Order,” “Destroy The Handicapped,” and “Skinheads Smoke Dope” leap from the grooves of the record reeking of beer, wearing steel-toed boots, and wielding a boxcutter. This record should have come with a set of brass knuckles and some blotter acid.

After contributing such tracks as “They Sent Me To Hell C.O.D.” to the CD Presents ‘84 compilation LP, Fang hooked up with Boner Records and contributed two songs, “Johnny Puke” and “Better Off Dead” to the Boner compilation “Them Boners Be A-Poppin’” (also feat. such skate rock heroes as Tales Of Terror, Bl’ast!, Special Forces, Verbal Abuse, and the Boneless Ones), before putting out another 12” EP for Boner, “Where The Wild Things Are,” named after the famous children’s book by Maurice Sendak, from which it borrows its cover art.
