THE SANE DAY

Interesting! I haven't fallen for this like some of my friends have, but I do enjoy it in moderate doses. What I find intriguing is the way these guys revert right back into 1972-74 with such passion and precision.

The Zappa influence was already mentioned by a previous writer, but to me, as Nordic person, more striking is the obvious link to Nordic prog of the 1970's. Beardfish can bear such a 1:1 resemblance to the Swedish and Finnish prog bands of the period (the original Kaipa, Samla Mammas Manna, Wigwam, Tasavallan Presidentti...) that it's positively scary at times. So, they are a very welcome addition to the current scene - only if they improved their songwriting just a little... Good stuff anyway!
