The Sound of Animals Fighting

About

The Sound of Animals Fighting is an experimental rock band that was formed in 2004 by Rich Balling of Rx Bandits. Featuring a revolving cast of musicians, including Balling's fellow RX Bandit members Matthew Embree and Chris Tsagakis, respectively on lead guitar and drums, the band released a trilogy of albums in its initial five year run, starting with 2005's Tiger and the Duke. Wearing animal masks during all four of its live performances before breaking up in 2009, the band kept its real identities as concealed as possible to keep the focus on its progressive, post-hardcore music. Sound of Animals Fighting refreshed its line up and reunited for a short tour in 2014.
