About Me

Fish formed in 2001 under the name 'shamrok'. The band is made up of four 17 year olds.
We came second in XFMs national Battle of the Bands competition, Rock School (Nov 05), narrowly missing out on opening Winter Wonderland at Brixton Academy.
We started 2007 well by winning The Kingston Battle Of The Bands, sponsored by Radio Jackie, earning studio time and live radio interviews.
We've been in the studio working on a 4 track ep (see the blog) which will include: Losing You, Salty Lines, Under Your Skin and We're All Working, which will be finished in the next couple of months.

"They are confident with the laid-back, melodic influences of the mellower moments of '60s-'70s rock."- Neon Buzz Magazine
"Poised" - Sunday Telegraph
"Brilliant" - Lauren Lavern
"They are really nice aswell!" - Esther
"Fish can be described as 'that young indie band who always wins battle of the bands'. A perfect blend of mellow guitar and laid back vocals sets this band up to be one of Britain's best kept Rock and Roll secret. But it's one thing to play a guitar, but also look good doing it? Now thats real tallent! This 4 piece masterpiece will soon dominate the music industry and look bloody good doing it aswell. I love fish!" - Created by kids
