Fin Fang Foom are a local Triangle three-piece that I used to skate with all the time back during my college years.  They still seem to play from time to time, but their heyday was the late nineties into the early oughts. They were/are math rock, but of the slightly more melodic variety, and occasionally a little weird.  Neither song here, "Ravenous" and "Blood and Iron," appear anywhere else that I can find.  The title track has a long piano intro and then sounds a little like an off-kilter Joan of Arc song, and the other track lends a heavy PArty of Helicopters vibe (this is a good thing, for the record).
