After toiling in relative obscurity though the 1980s, Nashville country-punkers Raging Fire threw in the towel. But the under-appreciated quarter left behind some superb music; that material was eventually reissued in 2015 as Everything is Roses<\/i><\/a>. Positive response to that collection led to a full-scale reunion, and the fruit of that is These Teeth Are Sharp<\/i>. Showing that the quintet has lost none of its, er, fire, the album features Melora’s Zaner’s distinctive vocals, backed by barbed-wire, slashing rock ‘n’ roll with just the right amount of twang. A rock sensibility \u2013 in the form of speedy yet brief guitar solos, memorable riffage and pummeling tempos \u2013 is balanced by a modern rethink of the classic country lyrical approach. Rock listeners who think they don’t like their music with a bit of Nashville flavor are encouraged to spin These Teeth are Sharp<\/i> and then reconsider their preconceptions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
