Smother Magazine Band Spotlight: The Sound of Animals Fighting
The Sound of Animals Fighting
Art rock just got a little more chaotic. The Sound of Animals Fighting go by animal name monikers and have been seen to wear masks of their forest creature brethren. But it's not a silly sound.

Experimental music often delves down into the deepest recesses of musical caricatures to bend sound into a prism of delightful oddities that even the worst musical cynic can't pass up.
