School of Fish is the debut studio album by the American band School of Fish. It was released in April 1991.
Promotion The album was supported by the single "3 Strange Days", which peaked at No. 12 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks. The single included two non-album tracks: the original composition "Where Have I Been" and the cover of Prince's "Let's Pretend We're Married".
Critical reception
The Calgary Herald noted that "neo-psychedelic guitar-grunge swirls beneath the surface of each song." The San Diego Union-Tribune concluded that the band "concocted an irresistible brew of tough-guy guitars, sweet vocals and thoughtful lyrics that sounds like a cross between Free, the Babys and Crowded House."
