 (71 Customer Reviews)
A fiercely passionate juggernaut of punk-fueled rock & roll, CORAL FANG goes straight for the throat from the opening surge of "Drain the Blood." The Distillers are the street-worn vehicle of Brody Dalle, who exorcises her former surname, Armstrong (as in Tim Armstrong of Rancid), in almost every hard-charging song on FANG. As far as break-up albums go, this one's a doozy, largely due to Dalle's gargled-with-gravel voice, which makes Courtney Love sound like a dainty 10-year-old schoolgirl.
Impressively, Dalle's self-penned tunes match her gutsy singing, and thanks to her proficient band and Gil Norton's muscular production, certain tracks sound like they could be outtakes from Nirvana's IN UTERO, most noticeably the stomping "The Gallow Is God." Other songs--such as "Dismantle Me," "Die on a Rope," "Love Is Paranoid," and the title track--pulse with a faster, frantic punk energy, while "The Hunger" leads off with an acoustic guitar and "For Tonight You're Only Here to Know" is propelled by a catchy, new wave guitar riff. A welcome antidote to the faux angst peddled by many bands, CORAL FANG proves that the Distillers can channel real rage and frustration into some seriously potent music.
After a pair of scorching indie albums that reminded fans how much fun it was to throw your fist in the air, The Distillers make their major label debut with Coral Fang, produced by Gil Norton (The Pixies, Foo Fighters). 12 tracks. Sire. 2003.

Rolling Stone (10/30/03, p.91) - 4 stars out of 5 - "If Nirvana had been led by a chick singer, BLEACH might have sounded like the Distillers' CORAL FANG..."
Spin (12/03, pp.129-30) - "...There's plenty of dicey karma to burn - which turns out to be the perfect fuel for CORAL FANG's bite-me mojo..." - Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly (10/17/03, pp.79-80) - "...The latest incarnation of the Distillers has brawn to spare, and the quartet tears through these songs with the 'one-two-three-four' thrust of modern punk..." - Rating: B
Q (01/01/04, p.80) - Ranked #20 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums of 2003"
Q (11/03, p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Armstrong has a strange voice, oddly masculine, but occasionally vulnerable....She exudes charisma..."
CMJ (11/3/03, p.8) - "...A fervent commitment to edgy, femme, frothing punk rock...is fully exemplified on CORAL FANG....There's not one iota of corporate or faux punk residing on this disc..." Distillers Coral Fang Songs Coral Fang Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Buen remake de Hole
Brody Dalle suena bastante (demasiado) parecida a Courtney Love. Hay canciones que parecen sacadas de "Live through this" o "Celebrity skin", el grunge está en todos lados. No es un mal disco: "The hunger", "Coral fang" y "Death sex" (una canción de 11 minutos) están muy buenas. El grupo suena con energía "histérica" propia de las grrrl bands, pero en ese caso prefiero a Yeah Yeah Yeahs o L7.

Buy this album now!!!!
I have not been able to stop listening to this album since I got it. If you like " Sing Sing Death House" you will live this album. This album is polished, produced and easy to sing along to, but defintely not pop that some people call punk these days. Brody's lyrics and voice give are passionate and full of emotion and the bands playing is tight. A must have for any CD collection, especially for fans of real punk.

Coral Fang album
 $10.59  
If you believe that punk rock started around 1975, the year 2000 would mark its 25th anniversary. At the end of the 1990s, not many of the early punk bands were still together -- the Sex Pistols, the Clash, the Damned, Sham 69, and the Dead Boys had long since broken up. But punk's influence remained strong; young punk bands were still emerging, and countless alternative rockers claimed punk as a major influence even if they weren't punk artists per se. Recorded in December 1999 and January 2000, this self-titled Distillers CD is a throwback to the raw, in-your-face aggression reminiscent of late 1970s/early 1980s punk. While fast and forceful cuts like "L.A. Girl," "Oh, Serena," and "Girlfixer" aren't innovative ...
| | Distillers Sing Sing Death House CD (2002)
Coral Fang CD music
$10.45
Principally recorded at Westlake Studios, Hollywood, California between May and June 2001.
This authentic, damaged, street-kid punk outfit boasts the magnificent, mouth-full-of-marbles gutter-punk accent of Brody, wife of Rancid's Tim Armstrong. (Both slur their vocals in a similar fashion.) Improving on their very fine, self-titled debut album, their latest, Sing Sing Death House, is battle-scarred and resolute, but Brody's tough voice is more expressive than your average punker's and especially affecting when she flaunts the full range of her throaty snarl. On "Seneca Falls," an appreciation of the women's suffrage movement set to chugging guitars and a thumpity-thump bass, there's an exceptional, goosebump-inducing though unintelligible chorus, which soars above the music because of the emotional quality of Brody's howl. Otherwise, the music is quite stirring, coming from a gang of gutter-punks with lip piercings. The song "The Young Crazed Peeling" is about having a crap upbringing, surviving, and actually becoming ...

$6.39
After the hype--and subsequent backlash--over the Strokes' debut album, IS THIS IT, many fans and skeptics alike came to realize that the band's catchy, punk-pillaging rock ditties were, ultimately, very difficult to resist. Their eagerly anticipated follow-up, ROOM ON FIRE, is cut from the same vintage 1970s cloth, but added flourishes keep the album from sounding like a mere redux.
"What Ever Happened?" opens ROOM ON FIRE with a chiming, staccato guitar riff and kicks into the immediately ...

HEIGHT OF CALLOUSNESS is the second album by alternative metal band Spineshank.
Spineshank has an ax to grind; hopefully it won't end up in your face. Sepultura and Fear Factory are the touchstones here, and the best of both bands is appropriated: cookie monster vocals are present and correct, the drums pound (in the case of "Cyanide 2600," there's a palpable jungle ...
| | Alabama Thunderpussy Fulton Hill CD (2004) Import
Coral Fang album
$31.29
Alabama Thunderpussy's fifth album, 2004's Fulton Hill, kicks off with a memorable and poignant-sounding instrumental tellingly named "Such Is Life." This may mean nothing to new fans and casual observers, but for those familiar with the Richmond, VA-based hard rockers, it's a particularly apropos song name in light of the numerous travails (bankrupt labels, lineup changes) troubling the group in the early part of the 2000s. Specifically, the latest challenge addressed by Fulton Hill is the breaking in of new vocalist Johnny Weils (ex-Barbed Wire Dolls), whose replacement of popular founding frontman Johnny Throckmorton no doubt left many questioning ATP's future prospects. Thankfully, the transition seems to have gone off rather smoothly, and, although more time is needed to assess Weils' eventual standing in comparison to his predecessor, the singer acquits ...
