Look at what’s jumped out of the water. Little Fish are a boy (Nez) and a girl (Juju) on a mission to fill the world with a rebellious sound. So far, they’re off to a good start.

When you listen to the duo make music happen, it’s hard to believe they’re just a pair of peeps jamming on the guitar and drums. Like a vigorous chemical, the sound spreads through the whole house, filling it up with eager noise. And best of all, it’s like nothing you’ve heard before.

It’s dominated by the alternative, and not only do you have to sit up and take notice, but you really have to concentrate on what you’re hearing. They’re a puzzle for the eyes and sour candy for the soul.

Since their coming together to spit acid and make magic, the devious duo have been seen touring with righteous acts like Hole and Alice in Chains. Now they’re ready to bulldoze their own path through the trees; their debut album is set to be released September 14, 2010.

If this ass-kicking business of theirs isn’t enough to start a buzz, then I give up on the music industry. Juju’s voice rides on your brainwaves and disrupts your sense of linear time, and Nez’s drums send marches of kamikaze pilots to your chest. They’re loud, refined, and have the mark of true rockers seared on their chests.

Unspoiled and uncommon, yet rank with connection, their songs glimmer in the dark, as if to remind you that the world can have its way with you and spit you back out, but no matter what happens, your spirit can never be shut down. They’re perfect reminders that creativity is the best way to nourish the soul, and genius comes hand in hand with eccentricity.

If they talk about their lifelong venture with music, you can tell they’re stuck on keeping it coming. As Juju says herself, “I think I’m quite odd which is why I find it hard to relate to myself as a musician. But when I get on stage I am at my most free and I feel really confident. When I sing I give it everything.” That’s a sure-fire attitude that’ll rub off on anyone. Sure, they don’t have the stuff that will sing you to sleep at night, but definitely have that something to help you stay up ‘till sunrise.

Their performance in the video for Am I Crazy is guided by a chaotic impulse, highlighted by stomach-turning cinematography. The black and white toning of the vid only further enhances that chilling, erratic mood of the music.

When you watch it, you can just feel as they slither into your thinking cap and stay there. Let’s all ride down to Crazytown. I hear it’s beautiful there.
