Sherman, in addition to Party Time, played drums for Bad Wizard, Truman’s Water, and All Night before being recruited to Party Time, who would eventually change their name to Red Fang.

Red Fang, formed in 2005, are a Portland, Oregon based Sludge Metal four-piece consisting of Aaron Beam on bass, Brian Giles on guitars, David Sullivan on guitars, and John Sherman on drums. Both Beam and Giles frequently split lead vocals, as well as Sullivan providing back-up vocals on their acclaimed first and also self-titled album; ‘Red Fang’ (2009). The album, the only of the band’s released on Sargent House Records features songs such as the opener “Prehistoric Dog,” “Humans Remain Human Remains,” and “Night Destroyer.” The album; with heavy bass lines and interesting time signatures was a success among the Doom Community, combining Doom with a faster element derived from Punk, as well as elements of Progressive Metal, Red Fang were just starting their journey.
The band’s motto, ‘Tour To Live,’ is more of a lifestyle, their regular diet consisting of countless cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon and crappy gas station grub and fast food; and the lifestyle shines through in their music. With roaring riffs and unique time signatures Red Fang released their second effort, ‘Murder The Mountains,’ their first on Relapse Records in 2011. Featuring songs like the album opener “Malverde,” “Wires,” and “The Undertow,” the album was the band’s second success.
2013 would see ‘Whales and Leeches," also released on Relapse Records. It’s worth nothing that Whales and Leeches was also the title of a track on the band’s first album, while Murder The Mountains became the title of a bonus track on Whales and Leeches. With songs like “1516,” “Dawn Rising,” “No Hope,” and “DOEN,” the band provided crushing riffs and the choicest of Doom for the third time. The album also features Mike Scheidt on vocals on “Dawn Rising;” Mike Scheidt is the vocalist and guitarist for YOB, also an Oregon based Doom Band.

Red Fang Lyrics
Kid, don't lose your cool it's still too soon
To have to choose a brighter doom
It's hard to believe but I can see
How there could be so little left to lose
(Cracking open skulls like cans of beans on Christmas Eve)
Momma's not okay, she lights a candle for every day
That you're away
Today could be the one she burns the motherfucker down
Her final act of grace
In a pointless, endless race
Kid, you're under fire, your life is coming down to the wire
Maybe you'll take the captains hand
Carry a ship through burning sands
Cradle your rifle like a man
Momma, she said to wait, she's lost it all
So you've got to stay to make her pay
She knows the fiend upon the throne
It's a goddamn sucker for the stone
Until the day he dies alone

I found them by accident. Being a fan of Municipal Waste, I found Tony's side project, Iron Reagan, and their video for 'Miserable Failure'. Red Fang make a cameo in that video (buying milk, coincidentally), completely interrupting the song. And some kind soul wrote a comment naming the band who interrupted the song.
GOD BLESS YOUTUBE ALGORITHM AND COMMENT SECTION FOR GIVING ME ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAV BANDS I WOULDN'T HAVE DISCOVERED OTHERWISE.

Possibly my favorite heavy rock music video of all time. I was born in Portland and Red Fang represents in the best way possible!
