Falling Chandelier

Formed in the summer heat of 2013, Silent Fangs is a female fronted trio that will make you bang your head, shuffle your feet, and believe that the rock and roll dream is still alive in Brooklyn. A blend of two distinct worlds, Silent Fangs marries the jangling, wide open plains of Texas to the caustic, unforgiving machine that is New York City. Singer and guitarist Jess Ledbetter bears a vocal style that sounds like Patsy Cline got into the Marlboros while brothers Brutus and Lewis Valleau thunder away beneath her with a ferocity and steadiness usually reserved for tractor-trailer engines. One look at the band and you can easily pinpoint who’s making which sounds. Contrasting the Valleau brothers’ dark denim and leather, Ledbetter wears luminous, neon pink hair that all but obscures her sparkly cowgirl-meets-space fairy garb. She brings a unique form of Light Magic that the boys focus into a sonic assault. The end result of this co-ed effort lies somewhere amidst the likes of Hole, Nirvana, and My Bloody Valentine.
