Silverfish

Silverfish is/were: 1. **Silverfish, were a U.K. band active from 1988 to 1993. The line up was Lesley Rankine - vocals, Andrew 'Fuzz' Duprey - Guitars, Chris P. Mowforth - Bass, Stuart Watson - Drums. While the rabidly aggressive voice of singer Lesley Rankine both anticipated and echoed the so-called Riot Grrl movement, the music owed more to hardcore punk of Dead Kennedys, the mechanised metal beats and rhythms of bands such as Ministry, and also the messed-up punk blues of the Birthday Party and the Jesus Lizard.
