The story of Fable is a enigmatic tale that still hasn't been heard by many.The three piece power trio started as Hellhound in the late 60's early 70's in Victoria B.C. Canada.They then changed the name to Fable.One of the members was quoted saying "We felt that our music was telling stories, that it was taking you on journeys just like fables do."
In 1975 Get the "L" outta here was released.On this album you hear influences from Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Grand Funk Railroad, Robin Trower, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Sir Lord Baltimore.The recording quality is very good and the songs are catchy,The guitar work on the album this is phenomenal.When members were asked what would describe their sound? They answered "Loud, heavy and aggressive but filled with positive energy and melody." This answer is very much dead on,for an album that came out so early in the 70's there is a surprisingly abundant early 80's NWOBHM feel in some of the songs.Overall this is a very nostalgic sounding record for anyone who feels they might have missed out or overlooked this obscure gem.It definitely brings back similar feelings as discovering vintage Pentagram did or Necromandus.Nearly 30 years later the album resurfaced on cd and is a great piece of rock history to have!
