Staylefish have released their second album titled "Audible Addiction." This album follows in the footsteps of their debut album with a similar style and sound. These guys have quite the sound, I would say they are similat to a Bedouin Soundclash or a Westbound Train, so if you like those bands, you could like this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded pretty well here. The instrumentation is alright here too, the band can play. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals are pretty similar to their previous album, while they do have different styles with the reggae vocals then the regular vocals, it makes it not like every other band. Both of these singers can sing and you can understand them. With the lyrics, they go for more of that light, fun lyric that doesn't really mean much except for making you feel upbeat. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Staylefish have again made an album that mixed the reggae with the rock and it has a nice sound. Now all that is left is to get out there and bring it to people. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.).

Staylefish's debut "Utopian Theory" has a light island feel that also rocks. Reggae is not a style that many bands go for nowadays, but they seem to make it fun and an enjoyable listen compared to what reggae usually has, although reggae all seems to have the same basic feel. Now with the recording of the album, it has been done pretty decently but it could use a tweak here and there as some spots are a little too soft. The vocals could be recorded a little better as well and the guitars sound a little in the background too much. If you would like a song to listen to over the others there isn't really one, so just pick a song and listen to it. Staylefish have done a pretty good job on the whole reggae rock deal here and its nice to see a band doing something thats not popular but they still love. Give this album a listen and make sure you check out what the band is doing.
