Bastard Fish

Bastard Fish are a 5 piece ska band from Manchester. Their sound consists of many different influences such as ska, dub, eastern european gypsy music, reggae, punk, stoner rock and metal. The band takes the approach that no idea is too ridiculous to be included in a song and therefore their music is characterised by drastic changes in mood, feel, tempo, dynamics and often genre. The lyrical themes vary from universal themes of money, relationships and rejection to tales of mute girls, drunken clowns and shopping in shady markets.
