Band: Fickle
Title: The Natural Order of Things

Rock / Alternative / Other

‘The Natural Order of Things’ is the debut release by Fickle. They are a treasured fixture on the Cincinnati original rock scene. Fickle is: Brian Martin (vox, guitar), Ian McGee (lead guitar), Dennis Dezarn (vox, bass), and Christopher Mueller (drums).

The first song is the title track - and it is as soothing as pure aloe on a sunburn fanny. It features distant sounds of a train, birds, voices, and a plane flying overhead. It's really quite powerful for such a fragile tune.

Don't let the first song fool you. This is a rock band and ‘When at Last’ is ready to be played on even the most established rock radio stations. Play this amongst some Nickelback, Live and Taking Back Sunday - they’d fit right in.

We really dig the kickin' songs ‘Atropos’ and ‘Safety in Numbers’. They’re extremely infectious tracks and are definitely a couple of the strongest on this release, in our humble opinion.

Other highlights are ‘541 Minutes’ and ‘Walking Talking Contradiction’.

The song ‘Head Case’ gets lost on here but overall this is a great debut. If they’re dealt the cards that they deserve you will be hearing a lot from them in the near future!

We also have to mention the CD cover art because it is absolutely gorgeous! The photography was done by Scott Kingsley and the CD layout and graphic design was done by Matt Parmenter.
