Wax Fang is an American rock band hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, known for their eclectic mix of psychedelic rock, theatricality, and experimental soundscapes. Initially formed as a solo project by frontman and primary songwriter Scott Carney in 2005, the project evolved into a full band with the addition of bassist and keyboardist Jacob Heustis and drummer Kevin Ratterman. Their sound is distinguished by an overarching ambition to transcend conventional genre boundaries, incorporating elements of classic rock, glam, post-punk, and progressive rock within their expansive sonic palette.

Throughout their career, Wax Fang has cultivated a dedicated fanbase through their dynamic and immersive live performances and thought-provoking lyrics. With a discography marked by ambitiously conceptual works, their breakout occurred with the 2007 album "La La Land," which showcased their knack for melding raw guitar riffs with otherworldly soundscapes. The 2017 space-rock opera "The Astronaut" marked a creative peak, praised for its narrative depth and compositional boldness. Singles like "The Holy Fire" and "Victory Laps" continue to exemplify the band's tireless drive for innovation and artistic expression. Wax Fang remains an enigmatic force within the indie rock scene, consistently pushing the boundaries of storytelling and sound.
