I can't believe I haven't posted about one of my favorite local Austin bands: Shapes Have Fangs. The bands consists of brothers Skyler and Evan McGlothlin, Dustin Coffey and Josh Willis. First thought of the band reminds you of a flash back of the 60's British invasion, namely the Kinks. More accurately they are rhythm-driven, fuzzed-out garage pop.
They own their own record label named: Laguna Studio, and have helped record bands such as: Flesh Lights, ELVIS, Woven Bones, John Wesley Coleman III, Finally Punk, Rayon Beach, White Dog, Horse & Donkey, Breathing Problem, Night Beats, The Ripe, Followed By Static, Cry Blood Apache, Christian Bland & The Revelators, The Fabulous Bread Winners, Total Abuse, The Zoltars, The Fleshlights, Amplified Heat, Hatchet Wound, The Rich Hands Band, Holy Wave, Bang Bang Theodores, Ghost Lapse, UFO Club, S U R V I V E, Apache Dropout, & White Dog.
The local quartet's debut album is under The Black Angels label The Reverberation Appreciation Society. You can purchased here. $15-vinyl, $30-vinyl & shirt, $8 digital download.
They also have a split 7" with a band named Cave Dwellers through Business Deal Records. You can purchase here or there's several copies at Waterloo Records.
