Citizen Fish

Citizen Fish
Man On The Moon
Since 1990 Citizen Fish (formed following the splits of Subhumans and Culture Shock at the end of the 80's) have been delivering their unique style of ska infused punk rock to eager audiences while touring across the UK and the rest of the world. Dick's frantic and emphatic vocal delivery combined with the catchy riffs and driving punk of their unforgettable live performances continue to earn them legions of new fans around the world, in all walks of life and all ages. 2007 saw Citizen Fish release a split CD with New York's punk legends Leftover Crack (on the famous Fat Wreck label, run by NOFX) and a massive US tour to go with it. These guys truly are the masters of mixing punk with ska, and they top that off with sharply observed politically charged lyrics that don't preach, but encourage you to question, and to think!!!

Plus The Tagnuts (last ever gig), Ed Ache (Acoustic punk genius front man of the near legendary I.C.H) and the Last Gang In Town DJs.
