Video: Wax Fang, “WWII (Pt.2)” + Interview
- story THE FADER
Wax Fang premiered their video for “WWII (Pt. 2)” over at RCRD LBL today, and between the sweeping chorus and the stock World War II footage, we were feeling pretty good about the American Dream for the first time in forever. But then Scott Carney starts singing about the mountains and valleys and oceans disappearing, and it becomes increasingly clear that they’re pulling a “Born in the USA” (start counting the days until McCain adopts “WWII (Pt. 2)” as his campaign song). Wax Fang’s La La Land is out today, and while you’re at the record store picking it up, you should also pick up a copy of FADER 57 (or download it ), and check out Peter Macia’s Gen F on the band. After the jump, read the interview from that story in which Carney talks about the album, his fellow Kentuckians My Morning Jacket, the recession, falling down drunk and transendental meditation.

- story THE FADER
There are some days when you want to listen to metal, put a mop on your head and shred on your tennis racket. There are others when you want to listen to prog and play Chinese checkers. There are then others when you just want to put on some southern rock and drink the memory of your nerdery into a gauzy oblivion. And then there’s today, when you can get trashed, play checkers and shred all at once to the sound of Lousville, Kentucky’s Wax Fang. They’ve toured with hometown bros My Morning Jacket and recorded a badass album in Nashville, which they will release on their own label this fall. It is called La La Land and it is, as we like to say, epic.
