Having just received the cd in the mail and played it once, I have to say I am most impressed,
From the opening track, on through the remake (which is how I found the album in the first place) to the last song.
To sum up in a word I would say EXCELLENT.
Now off to see what the others are like.

There's enough to enjoy for everybody!

Ten new songs are on this full-length forty minute CD of KANARY. There is also one cover, which is the second song on this CD. It’s the KANARY version of “Baby It’s You”, a hit from Leslie’s (and her brother Benny) old band called PROMISES from 1978, which was a huge hit in Germany. The other songs are good rock songs that show us a band, that has developed very well in the past few years. They have specialized in playing catchy songs with some rough edges here and there, but still with enough catchiness, so they can be played on the (inter)national radio. Leslie already knew, that she was able to write a good rock song with her band PRECIOUS METAL. But with KANARY she has matured her sound and it really shows in the albums she has done with this band so far. Leslie’s voice sounds a lot like BONNY TYLER. It’s raw and raspy and it fits very well to the songs of KANARY. I am glad that “Can’t Stop Crying” is only a short song, because this country like tearjerker is a bit too much for me. But with “Pity Party Fuck”, the band has recorded their most heavy song in their whole career. As you can see, there’s enough to enjoy for everybody on “Only Dead Fish Go With The Current”. By the way, I really liked the drawings of the lady skeleton with the mohawk on the CD booklet. KANARY still consists of Leslie Knauer on vocals and guitar, Mary Kay on bass and Tony (Tonedog) Matteucci on drums, and for more information about this band you can go to their website at www.kanary.com.
