\"Hooded<\/a><\/p>\n

Hooded Fang
\nVenus on Edge
\n<\/i>(Daps Records)
\n2.5\/5<\/p>\n

Toronto\u2019s Hooded Fang continue to evolve on their fourth full-length. Leaving behind their previous identity as indie-surf-rockers, this electro-punk album moves them into deeper, heavier, and louder territory.<\/p>\n

From the first track, the listener is hit by the fast pace and high-pitched frequency over which the monotonous vocals ride.<\/p>\n

The tone of each tune hardly differs, with the whole album vibrating at a high-strung and incessant tempo. Although they\u2019ve always delivered upbeat tunes, Hooded Fang appears to have been shoved into warp-speed and stuck there.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d recommend this album if someone were feeling pent up or trapped and wanted a frenzied soundtrack to hit the gym or angrily headbang in their room to.<\/p>\n

I look forward to seeing what Hooded Fang\u2019s next album sounds like. Here\u2019s hoping that they allow some variation back into their repertoire, and perhaps give the vocals a better chance to be heard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
