about

Junkfish rises from the ashes of Mensen Blaffen in the city of Aalst, 1988.
Jan Van den Brande guitar
Mario Segers synth & sampler
Steven Lorie drums
Etienne Schockaert bass
Peter Schelck (in 1989) lead vocals

After concerts with Tad, Alice Donut and Victims Family, Junkfish was increasingly profiling itself as Belgium's most idiosyncratic group.
Their music is a fusion of Fugazi's hardcore and Meat Beat Manifesto's punk rap house. Judiciously, infectious, psychotic guitar riffs are combined with driven rhythms and wry, commanding vocals.
Hysterical samples and synthesizer parts round off the whole, driven by critical - but always with an underlying sarcasm - lyrics.


Press quotes:
"Dit ruikt naar Subpop (Jaren '90 grunge label in de US) maar doorzwemt z'n eigen wateren". (Hageland records)
"Van "About You" gaat een dreiging uit..... het is dezelfde vocale partij die de in wezen klassieke song "She Said" naar een niveau tilt dat de meeste Belgische groepen zelfs na jaren klauteren niet bereiken. De drums rollen vooruit als naar beneden stuiterende rotsblokken en de gitaar spuwt een rif dat plots veel weg heeft van mensenbloed".(Rif Raf)
