Northern California's, SQUALUS, is a gnashing, gnawing beast; an all consuming wave of dueling, distorted, down-tuned bass guitars, saturated synthesizers and creaking pianos, plodding yet violent drums, and the kind of vocals that only excessive exposure to salt air and apricot brandy can produce...The Great Fish… leaves the guitars on shore, and stalks the shallows of local waters, utilizing only two basses, keys, drums and salted vocals; reciting and recreating one of the greatest "man vs. sea" stories ever told. Eleven songs that will sink their teeth in and drag you through an oceanic adventure unlike any other. Despite all the pounding and the hollering, they all come in, and rip you to pieces.
