I have no idea if this is a photo from a Fishboy show or what, but you have to admit the look on Eric’s face is pretty awesome. Apologies for not using a press photo, but I’ve gotten enough mileage out of the one they have to warrant this.

Fishboy! I’ll admit that I was vaguely confused about their “NOM” EP as maybe a handful of you were too. So in that case, I’ll recap: Fishboy scrapped a couple songs from their last album Albatross, but instead of trashing them, they handed the vocals over to their friends the Om Nom Noms. Songs were built around the vocals and the result is the “NOM” EP. You can buy it on vinyl/CD at their store or stream the whole thing on Fishboy’s muxtape. It’s fantastic pop and I suggest you start with “Broken Bones.”
