A Totally Different Disaster, Fisheye's second CD, is the band's most ambitious effort. Featuring the songwriting of Brian, Andy, and Jason, this CD builds on the success of last year's "Bigger than Your Head". Much of Fisheye's appeal stems from their catchy melodies, varied instrumentation, and up beat sing-along style.
Fisheye is greater than the sum of its parts. Brian Mobley has a good voice. Jason Roberts is talented on both the guitar and mandolin. Andy Robinson has an ear for harmony. And Doug Ward keeps a good beat. Stir in the work of three prolific songwriters in Brian, Andy and Jason. Add some practice, luck, and special sauce and there you have the basis of Fisheye.
Lynne Pettinger of AmericanaUK said of their last CD: "Fisheye have a way with melody, and a splendid selection of perky pop songs. It's not every band that manages to sound like they're sometimes covering Guy Clark and other times doing an acoustic guitar version of 90s indie-pop adventurers Luna."

I never heard of these guys, but I got their cd to review and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Their sound is hard to pinpoint. It's definitely in the alternative folk rock genre. It's upbeat , down to earth and never too heavy. It reminded me of a cross between They Might Be Giants and 70's southern pop rock. The songs on this CD all have a melodic happy feel to them except, Ella Jane, which is a gorgeous ballad with some real melodic and lyrical surprises. That song is my personal favorite, along with Prophecy Dam and Horse To Water. However, every song on the CD has something to offer. If you like music that makes you feel good, I recommend you make this purchase.
