Blending ska, reggae, and punk since 1990, Citizen Fish steer clear of raw political sloganeering, instead tackling themes of social alienation and human connection with an upbeat, infectious energy. Like their earlier bands Culture Shock and The Subhumans, they’ve channelled radical politics to questioning minds for decades—only this time, it’s wrapped in danceable, feel-good rhythms. With Dick’s unifying lyrics and the band’s driving, catchy riffs, Citizen Fish continue to grow their ever-welcoming musical family, appealing to punks, skankers, and everyone in between.
From the heart of the Black Country, Jess Silk is a singer-songwriter with fire in her belly and a guitar covered in stickers to prove it. Her shouty-yet-melodic folk/punk sound has drawn comparisons to Frank Turner and Billy Bragg, but Jess is carving out her own space, commanding rooms with her gravelly voice and no-nonsense lyrics. Gigging relentlessly across the UK, she’s shared stages with some of the biggest names in the scene—if you don’t know her yet, you soon will.
Mark and Beanie—the creative core of post-punk outfit Skewwhiff—strip things back in their dynamic acoustic duo project. Known for their seamless chemistry and emotive delivery, they breathe new life into Skewwhiff’s back catalogue with fresh acoustic reimaginings, while also bringing new, specially written tracks into the mix. Expect raw passion, and arrangements that captivate from the first chord.
