Deidre Smith has a really dreamy sounding voice. Well that is all > i really had to say =) Strawberry DO have a tape out, it's called Beached. It's an eight song tape, i guess that's a long player, and they put it out themselves! If you like the band, then you'll like the tape, it's pretty much the folk-influenced-dreamy-pop-with-pretty-vocal-stylesque music that they've been doing...they do it well. The songs are: Happy Hour, Karen, Further, I'm a train, Buried Treasure(also on cinnamon toast split with Plumtree), Flung, The Wall, Only Son. You can get it by writting to : Strawberry, 1 Chelsey Circle, Charlottetown, PEI, C1E 1E9. phone: 902-892-2129 jim
