An interesting piece at the Quietus by Keith Kahn-Harris about Silverfish as a great lost band from a great lost mini-era.
I remember them fondly as a band that was great onstage but never really caught it on record.
Like maybe they should have put out a video instead of a record - capture the cartoony kineticism.
At Melody Maker, we were quite taken by Silverfish. Quite as in "fairly" rather than quite as in "very".
Then, they seemed like a UK response to recent American noisenik stuff - Pussy Galore and that kind of thing - but thinking back, maybe the comparison should have been more local: World Domination Enterprises. "Noise you can dance to" as one of Silverfish puts in the mini-interview below. Jive to.
