Citizen Fish

Citizen Fish are an English punk rock band that has been active since 1990 and shares members with Subhumans.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> 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, Deadline.

Their latest and eighth full-length studio album, 2011's Goods was hailed as a return to form,<ref name="amgoods"/> and they remain active, releasing the Manmade EP in 2015.<ref name="pn">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
