Well, I have to say this surprized me quite a lot.

I have never tought of Fish in Oil as rock band and they are playing at all the jazz festivals and clubs here on the Balkans. Neither did I hear someone to call them a rock band. Sure they have some rock influences, too, as well as many others, but at least Jazz Related Rock should be enough for them in my opinion.

On every page, where they are mentioned, they are reffered as a jazz band. Including allaboutjazz.com (https://www.allaboutjazz.com/fish-in-oil-drnch-by-nenad-georgievski.php), jazzin.rs (http://www.jazzin.rs/fish-in-oil-bratislav-radovanovic/) etc.

Maybe check again, perhaps the first video wasn't jazzy enough.

On the bandcamp profile there is only the first album, which is much more rocky and bluesy than the others, yes. But even in it there is enough jazz I think. Their third one is the jazziest, but there are still no videos of it on the net. I have it on CD, so if you wish I could provide samples, in order for you to be completely sure they are jazz.

The first track is for sure totally misleading. I haven't thought about that. But I also included a video of the third one, which by all means is quite jazzier. The video embedding thing here deosn't work, though, so video links are kinda easier to be left unnoticed.
