"No Fear" by Fluid Sol

Mitch Malloy is a hugely underrated talent. Almost picked up as the third lead singer for Van Halen instead of Extreme's Gary Cherone, Malloy has largely fallen through the cracks after a minor hit in 1992 with "Anything At All."

While he has put out numerous solo records, Fluid Sol is the only band project that I know to be associated with Mitch Malloy. Fluid Sol is a little harder-edged and darker than his usual melodic rock style, but it works really well. Tracks like "Just Human" and "King of Nothing" have a sharp bite that sounded more contemporary for 2004, when this self-titled record was released.

"No Fear" is a catchy track that would satisfy any fan of Mitch Malloy and underscores the injustice that he is not a household name.
