BATFISH INCORPORATED
RECORDS

  Batfish Incorporated Records was a DIY label. Formed by The Batfish Boys. (later simply called Batfish) were a gothic rock/garage rock/rockabilly band from York, England, active between 1984 and 1990, releasing three albums. The band was formed by former March Violet Simon Detroit (b. Simon Denbighe)(vocals), and ex-Skeletal Family drummer Martin Pink, along with Johey Elliott (guitar), and T.G. Ashton (bass). Their goth-rock tendencies soon gave way to a more Stooges-influenced garage rock sound, with "Swamp Liquor" their first release on their own Batfish Inc. label in 1985, followed soon after by debut album The Gods Hate Kansas, prompting comparisons to the likes of The Cramps and The Gun Club. In 1986, Zero Rek was added on guitar, the band's second album, Head, also appearing that year, now with psychedelic blues overtones. With the band's sound getting progressively heavier, and with a new rhythm section, they were signed by Motorhead's label GWR in 1987. Distributed By The Cartal.
