And In 2001 – Fishtank Spoke Their Very First Words. 2001’s Souvenir Novelties & Party Tricks Hurtled Towards Jaded Unsuspecting Music Fans At Warp Speed. Fishtank’ Unique Punk-Ska Sensibility Was Fresh Immediate Weird And Exquisite – A Cacophony Of Melodic Intricacy Tempered By A Quirky Childlike Enthusiasm. It Became The Little Album That Could – And Would – Turn Local Indie-Rock On Its Head. Fishtank Had Arrived. If Souvenir Novelties & Party Tricks Came Directly At You Then Its Sophomore Make Nice Kindly Invites You In. A Bigger Bolder Production Aesthetic Took Everything Up A Notch And – Alongside More Adventurous Songwriting – Polished An Already Golden Egg. To Play Music For A Long Time You Have To Surprise The People That Know You – While Also Surprising Yourself. Enter Make Nice. Recorded Over Time By Leonard Soosay – Make Nice Is A Whole New Animal. It Is The Sound Of A Band Growing Up And Out. Fishtank’s Infectious Fast Frantic Style Is Still At The Core And Tireless. But Anything Can Happen Around It – And In This Case It Does. Channeling A Muse-Like Guitar Riff Intro “I Want Out” Pairs A Biffy Clyro Rhythm With The Fratellis Singalong Shout Out Choruses. Elsewhere The Band Toys With Tweaked-Out Reggae Rhythms “One Shot” Frantic Arpeggiated Thunderous Anthems “Conversations” And Taking Cues From The Vibe Of The New Line-Up – Sweeping Fuzztoned Epics “Yahoo! Superstar” . Finally “Young & Old” “Candlelight” And “Walkaway” Are The Songs That Didn’t Fit In Then Are Now Reworked Into Exhilarating Rollicking Rock-Solid Songs We’ve All Come To Desire From Fishtank. So Have A Listen To Fishtank’s Make Nice. And Consider Yourself Surprised. read less
