Album Notes

Seems that our practitioners of "Art Punk Oddness" have crushed their demons and finally released a CD that shows why they are "The Band New York City Couldn't Kill".

After two decades of breakdowns, therapy, and shakeups, SFH has regrouped.

The result of this cleansing is "The Sound And The Furry" an eight song CD that shows how SFH has brought together live energy with an increasingly professional grasp of studio techniques.

And while the word "professional" has never been associated with this band, they have not given up their dark side to get there.

The new CD includes all the elements that have made them Underground Garage Legends and called "The Lowest Of Low Rent Bands" by The Village Voice.

Quirky melodies , jarring apocalyptic rants , kick-ass punk grooves , and a willingness to throw in a jazz chord , a vocal harmony, or a touching phrase when you least expect it.

Though they won't provide much in the way of details on how they achieved their redemption, Rodent Records lead act have clearly gone through a transition, and they just might fulfill their early promise if they can stay close to the music and avoid what they call " the snarling monster that eats rock bands".

If you're sick of crappy radio rock and want to be reminded what a kickass band really sounds like, get this CD.  Nothing beats catching a Squirrels show if you're in the NY area, but if you can't, get your paws on a copy of "The Sound and the Furry".  From the poetic rants in "My Town" to the heart attack-inducing "After the Horrible Event", this CD rocks - buy it and crank it.

Only CD on a 4 hour car trip: Loved It!
author: Brian from Ballmer
                            
Headed down the eastern seaboard, half-hour from my ancestral home, through with my cell phone wassups, I realized I left my CD case behind. Only one CD, it was in the player: The Sound and the Furry. Shit, it was my friend's, and I hadn't even heard it before. The local stations drifted in and out, so I kept returning to the CD, then cranked it exclusively from Philly to Baltimore, my dirty new home. I had a little trouble with the vocals at first (there's no Pavarotti in this act), but the music kicks in an alt-rock kind of way, and the songs are "interesting," not dealing with love affairs, but more with plagues, unnamed disasters, wasted youth, and the despair we all associate with small town life. Cool, eh? I'm not sure I'd make the trip this way again, but I still go back to this CD when I need a good dose of paranoia, despair, or apocalyptic visions with a solid alt-rock underpinning. Check it out.
