Smoke Fish “Insane Inside”
Already on 06/29/09 the current single “Insane Inside” appeared by the band from Brest (France). If it is in a folk ballad, in a rock song or in a song with oriental sonority, Smoke Fish plays with contrasts and creates a music of full intensity which is also tender and rousing and invites to dream.
Who wants to dream with us, can find the download and info here:
