Little Fish, freshly signed to a record deal with Custard/Universal US, are a rock duo from Oxford. The band is the work of singer songwriter Juju (electric/acoustic guitar/vocals) and Nez (drums/percussion). The sound of Little Fish is stripped back, direct and defiantly punky in spirit, but also melodic and true to the song.
The song lyrics are often poetic, reflective and brutally honest. With shades of PJ Harvey, Juju's vocals can range from aggressive and powerful, to a bluesy Janis Joplin. On other tracks Juju's voice haunts and mesmerises, but with the conviction of the spirit of Patti Smith. Nez's drums power the songs with upbeat, imaginative and vicious rhythms that combine with Juju's cutting guitar strokes and arresting vocals.
The name Little Fish is the result of Juju's daydream "Feel free, I wake up in a head spin. I am me. I am just a Little Fish. I see what I see..."
