VICIOUS FISH – Self Titled EP (1982)



Vicious Fish were a female led post punk band out of Southern, CA. This extended player is consistently engaging all the way through each of the six songs….The dance rock new wave influenced “Foreign Cities” and “Put Something There” are very much lively songs. The rest of the record is full of additional danceable beats and searing guitar arrangements with a tough-girl stance courtesy of Shari Saba. While listening to this record, it conjures up a sound similar to the great Romeo Void. Vicious Fish were definitely influenced by the Romeo Void playbook of post punk wave…Out of print private pressing via Half-Eaten Records.

  1. foreign cities - interesting vocal work, quick pulsed.
    are we still dancing? - not my favorite, it doesn't sound authentic.
    ideas in disguise - tight bassline, cool chords.
    into the night - fast car driving into the night.
    not fade away - fun for them.
    put something there - snare hits, melodic at times.
