| | BABEL: Babel Fish (1996 AD) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | In 1996, under the name Daily Planet, the band released their first single, "Light of Day." The song was an big hit on Norwegian radio, however a band from Sweden had been using the Daily Planet name for some time, so the band had to seek out a new name. |
 | | Odd, who was a longtime fan of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy novels, suggested calling the group Babel Fish. |
 | | Their influences include The Beatles, Crowded House, Led Zeppelin, Simon and Garfunkel, Kate Bush, Massive Attack, and U2 - the sound of Babel Fish fuses folk's emotional resonance with a pure pop sensibility. |
