Who innit then.........
Russ Frame
Main Vocals and big black Gibson Guitar fuelled my Jim Marshalls finest. Usually found watching Cov City ( use to losing then ? ), playing totally obscure CD's to the rest of the band, and plying practical jokes on them.
ex of- The Brooklyn Dogs . Bone Idol . Raggity Anne (briefly) . The Raymonds.
Daint
Guitar and 'football' crowd style backing vocs. A Cannock man bred and born and easily the most socable member of Pigfish. Buy him a pint, you've got a friend for life.
ex of- 3 in a bed ! . The Lost Souls.

Jase Burley
The fantastic bass machine and easily the clumsiest man alive. Capable of breaking or losing everything he gets hold of. 6ft 4 of uncoordinated gurning mayhem, and sings like an angel too.
ex of- Frank spencers fine china dusting school.
Tony
Drums, gig booking, website updating, mithering, organising and generally making
sure Pigfish happens.
ex of - Dawn After Dark . Bone Idol . The Raymonds. We’re over 30 and doing just fine’, NOFX sum it up beautifully.

Pigfish’s influences are obvious. Brought up as kids on a diet of The Ramones, S.L.F and the Buzzcocks they were never going to churn out anything else but super charged anthemic punk rock.. In fact, the chance of seeing them in anything other than jeans and grubby t shirt is pretty remote. Current and past reviews of have likened Pigfish to The Wildhearts and Rancid. These are rough guides but I spose they give you a general feel for what the bands sounds like.

The bands tight and lively live performances are based on years of playing gigs and refusing to act their age !. Some might say it’s retro punk, but that goes no where near to doing it justice and generally goes to highlight the gaps in peoples record collections. Pigfish are an english sounding punk rock band who kick out short, sharp tunes with powerful, chugging guitars and vocal tunes that drag you in, beat you up then spit you out, wanting more.

Early 98 saw Pigfish come to the attention of Delta Loop records, a day in the studio resulted in the demo tracks now found on ‘Radio Delta’, a split 10 track EP with General Kingpin. ‘Radio Delta’ was not without it’s difficulties. Pigfish recorded a version of the Raggity track ‘my baby stole my Ramones Lp’s’ and titled it ‘Ramones Lp’s’. In theory there was nowt wrong with this as Russ had written the tune and stuff for it. The resulting war of words is well documented, now settled and best forgotten. Pigfish continued to gig and October 98 saw them enter M.M.i’s studios to record ‘Creosote the baby’.

Released in April 99 this saw the band support the Damned and gain fantastic reviews across the board with Fanzines and the nationals. Pigfish it appeared, had done something right for a change. 1999 was taken up with gigs, gigs and more gigs. The band then had the bright idea of covering Sailors ‘ A Glass of Champagne’. Basically, a sound idea and a great version to boot. However, the label at the time managed, yet again to salvage defeat from the jaws of victory. The recording quality was pretty duff as the band had to pay at short notice for the recording, and the company didn’t exactly excel themselves in promoting it. Nah, they did fuck all !.

With this major corporate fuck up behind them and not content with having produced a stunning debut album Pigfish hit the studio again in Jan 2000, this time with Paul Bag Siddens at the controls. Three weeks later they emerged with the reverend James, an 8 track Ep. Then followed a change of label to Iron Man.

Most of 2000 has not really seen much of Pigfish whilst the Rev James did the promo rounds, earning 4/5 in Kerrang and 7/10 in metal hammer. However, 12 long, slow months followed whilst Mark at Iron Man tried to find distribution for the EP. Finally a deal was struck with Universal and the reverend james hit the shops in April 2001. Loads of gigs followed and more are planned, with supports done with S.L.F and gigs lined up for Scooter clubs throught the UK, 2001 and beyond is going to be busy.
