Citizen Fish is a ska punk band formed in the early 1990s . The name alludes to the conflicting balance of the human character of (the Citizen (citizen) to be narrowed by work, deadlines, rules and laws and the free, naturally standing above it all Fish ).
Band history
The band comes from the Bath area , England and was formed by Dick Lucas ( vocals / lyrics), Jasper ( bass ), Trotsky ( drums ) and Larry ( guitar ). After their first album, Free Souls in a Trapped Environment , Larry left the band and was replaced by Phil, who previously played with Dick and Trotsky for the Subhumans . In July 2006 Trotsky was replaced by Silas on drums.
After a five-year hiatus, the band returned to the studio in August 2006 to record a joint album with Leftover Crack .
The band is known for their lyrics, which often make strong social or political statements. Topics are vegetarianism (everyone in the band are vegetarians), anti- consumerism and questioning the status quo . They support DIY and organize their concerts as well as the design and distribution of their records themselves.
