Red Fang Ether the Music Writing World in Hilarious "Cut It Short" Video

There are many conceptions of what the average music writer is, all of them (somewhat rightfully) negative. We are resentful ex-musicians, narcissistic pseudo-academics, buzzword-spewing doofuses, or all of the above. Red Fang have come up with a new stereotype to add to this pile; inspired by their Northwestern heritage, no doubt, the band imagines journalists as beer-chugging hosers in their new video for Only Ghosts rager "Cut It Short."

Said toque-wearing dummies ask some dumb questions, then spend the video geekily following the band to their soundchecks. The plot thickens from there, as the natural animosities that grow from spending days in a tour van with other sweaty band members reach a boiling point during a set. We won't say much, but there is nipple-twisting. Watch the "Cut It Short" video above and check Red Fang's upcoming dates below.
