Fresh are a five-piece rock band based in Vienna lead by Tony Leitner (vocals), Gregor Sailer (bass), Paul Sailer (drums), Berndt Schwarzinger (live support) and Bristol born Samuel Fischer playing a host of instruments including guitar and keyboards. They describe themselves as a bunch of jazz students who rock! Their debut album 'A Journey Begins' is for the most part sung in English with the exception of a track entitled "Wir Werden Siegen" which is sung in their native language. "Monday Morning Girl" is one of their catchier tracks, more pop rock than full on rock. There is nothing that really stands out on this album and they may just struggle to stand out from the crowd. They have toured the Bristol area in the past and are hoping to return to the UK soon, watch out for them.
