Fear No Fish - 'Stay' Video

London/Redhill based rock band 'Fear No Fish' have been hitting the main venues over the last 8 years developing and engineering their craft to produce an amazing sound that has already put them on the road to success. Last year they won the Liberty Radio UK Battle of the Bands and reached the final of JAR Musics’ 2010 International Breakout Music Festival Final at the Islington 02 Academy.

Their first single “Stay” reached number 1 in the unsigned chart and held this position for 3 weeks, hanging around in the top 40 for 11 weeks! It is available for download.

Stay - Fear No Fish - This Video is now available- along with all their vids- to see on http://www.youtube.com/user/FearNoFishTV

We took a listen, and this is what we thought:

Velvety buckskin guitar-notes are squeezed out gracefully, manipulated with uncommon tenderness. Whilst the arrangement shines as brightly as a scrubbed nosher caught out by a disco black-light. Toothy chord fragments and semi-translucent notes flicker like embers in the empty spaces found towards the end of the tune, creating a pressure that is manfully released in spasms, as solid golden beams of light embrace the piece as a whole. All the while a scurrying, yet melodious, voice adds a sense of urgency. -- © Neil_Mach February 2012 --
