Fatal Smile are a Scandinavian band in the same mould as The Backyard Babies and Buckcherry, although the music and vocals are generally heavier.

The 10 songs on this CD are well written and produced, modern sounding, although a little predictable at times. Outstanding tracks include 'Bleeding Kiss', the single 'Learn-Love-Hate' and 'Colorblind'. Whilst 'Quiet Chaos' has an almost gothic feel to it.

HB Anderson's vocals are well complimented by the guitar playing of Y.

This is a great CD and hopefully the band will make an appearance in the UK soon.
