Sparrow's Hatching Out is this English group's first album, filled with their very own blend of easy rock.... Sparrow's tight vocal harmonies weave in and around their music, which ranges from the hard, driving sound of "Roller Coaster" to the soft tenderness of "Dream Song" - and touches everything in between.
There's no pretense in Sparrow; the music is honest, and the music is good. Sparrow is also unlike anything you've heard before. Expect to hear a lot of them....
