Handsome Frank and his ugly, underpaid Fins would love an Unsigned Band Web review of their songs 'Balaclava' and 'Secrets Of The Deep'

'Zappa-esque, psychedelic, rock pranksters. Gibbering mad professor frontman with 1001 surreal costume changes. Abstract fish-obsessed lyrics and systematic tremelo-arm abuse'. |

Balaclava......
What a great merge of 80's influenced progressive rock, rock and pop! I am constantly amazed by the music you bring me steelclaw. Extremely diverse and always well done.
Nice rock intro with (as always) interesting lyrics. The intro feels rock, but once the verse starts we're into 80's style production pop. I really like the lyrics, very unconventional. The changes during the chorus are also really nice. Many unexpected changes. The guitar work is excellent with some nice riffs throughout. The bass riffs are also very nice. There are some unique vocal harmonies, mixed with different effects, to a nice finish. This song will have you tapping your toes, humming along, and wanting more! Very cool.....

Secrets of the deep.......
Surf, pop, rock.... Funny lyrics, surf style guitar leads, and rock/pop rhythms. I thought the lyrics were pretty funny. Made me think of the Loc Ness monster. I don't know if that's what the song is really about. The song is a fun listen, and has some unique guitar solo's and a few odd chord changes. The lyrics really dominant your attention throughout the song.
