Ferocious Fucking Teeth – s/t LP (Safety Meeting)
A debut that hints of future promise by a band who might be known as ‘FFT’ sooner than later because this band’s name will become tiresome to the members themselves, who don’t seem to reside on the thoughtful end of the brospectrum. Way more Young Widows than Melvins or Big Business (to counter those one-sheet references), and armed with a baritone guitar instead of a bass to ascent the double-drumming that just sounds like one extremely well-recorded kit. Only a tiny handful of bands get double-drumming right on record, so FFT can’t really be faulted for that. They get the vocals right for this sort of thing that baritone guitar is a monster…think the exact opposite of how a baritone gave The Cure that distinctive “thangle”. All in all, roughly half this record falls under the banner of inspired goodness, and while this is heavy, they will share bills with such and would probably be bouncing off the walls if Hydra Head approached them about doing a record (they could and should), this is the non-metallic realm of noise-rock. 300 pressed. Black vinyl. Worth watching. (http://safetymeeting.bandcamp.com)
