Issue 42 — Spring 1996.
This, their 5^(th) album, is 40 minutes of bliss. Some of the band have
more than a decade of experience going back to the Punk Subhumans of the
early 80s before the festival ska of Culture Shock, then Citizen Fish
from 1990. Dick has always been a talented lyricist, with the Subhumans
he sounded fresher, swore a lot and worried about being locked up for
subversion. The lyrics have improved tremendously and their music has
not been left behind. The additional Bender trumpet loan works nicely on
a few songs and the core instruments are made to perform well in
classics like Phone In Sick, Faster and Next Big Thing. Over the years
ska punk bands have come and gone but Citizen Fish have got something
original and special. This album is being distributed in the US which I
think is a first for them. Look out for live shows, best anarchist gigs
around. Unfortunately for us they never seem to get north of
Birmingham...
