Citizen Fish
Punk Ska Band from United Kingdom formed in 1990
Citizen Fish are an English punk rock band that has been active since 1990 and shares members with Subhumans. Citizen Fish does not emphasize the raw political statements and nihilistic viewpoint of the former, instead focusing on issues of social alienation and human interaction, viewed through a more optimistic lens. Both bands deal with themes such as anti-consumerism and vegetarianism.
History
Based around Bath, England, the original members were Dick Lucas (vocals), Jasper (bass), Trotsky (drums), and Larry (guitar). Following their first album, Free Souls in a Trapped Environment, Larry left the band and was replaced by Phil, who, along with Dick and Trotsky, had previously been a member of the Subhumans. Jasper and Dick had previously played together in Culture Shock.
In July 2006, Silas (formerly of Bath-based band Cooper S with Jasper and Andy Evans) replaced Trotsky on drums. In the following month, after a five-year recording hiatus, the band returned to the studio to record songs for a split album with the New York band Leftöver Crack.
Their latest and eighth full-length studio album, 2011's Goods was hailed as a return to form, and they remain active, releasing the Manmade EP in 2015.
