The New York snow's melting, and spring's finally here. Celebrate with some new music from Houston, TX's American Fangs (unless you're in a polar/glacial region, in which case the snow melting is obviously a very very bad thing and we're all doomed).

About 20 of us gathered at the corner of 1st and Spring and marched to Olympic and Figueroa in the cold rainy weather. When we arrived to LA Live we discussed which approach we were going to take towards mic checking the…
