The overall impact of the mysterious Little Fish, who seek to build upon the momentum gained through the release of their debut album last year. Is that of Alanis Morrissette and PJ Harvey, combining together to try and cram an eight minute song into four, 'Wonderful'. Some colourful production skills provided by courtesy of the Supergrass Gaz Goombes, gives the song a sparkle and a radio friendly edge. Juju's vocals flit from theatrical to delving, as openness towards significant others is well and truly extolled. A combination of lost mystique and spirited drive given off by Juju, shows [...]
Oxford band Little Fish is set to release their new single "Wonderful". The band has experienced quite a lot in the last couple of years.

Lucky for Oxford fans, Little Fish is back in town, releasing their new [...]

Oxford's own boozy blues-rockin' duo Little Fish have been in touch to update us about their plans for second album. As Ben told us, " Nothing much changes – we're still the "next big thing", but we've given up on the major label approach and are excited to be putting out our next record fully DIY, indie, locally-sourced and self-promoted. We're recording it with Gaz Coombes in his cellar in Wheatley. " The first single from the album (which is officially released on the 26th September) is called Wonderful and we're delighted [...]
Being natives of Oxford we are lucky in having a still vibrant local music scene thanks in no small part to the success of heavyweights like Radiohead and Supergrass and new indie superstars Foals, as well as genre influencers like Ride and Swervedriver. So there are a few bands on the brink of making the step-up to being genuine 'big-name' contenders. Trophy Wife are newly signed to Moshi Moshi, Stornoway released one of the singles of the summer in I Saw You Blink, and the Jonquil bandwagon seems to keep gathering momentum. However, we're hoping [...]

Grimily revolving rock with a gritty femme lead, provided by Juju Sophie that speaks of repression from a significant other marks latest single, 'Sweat N'Shiver'. It continues the pushing home of the Little Fish debut album 'Baffled And Beat'. There's a lack of any real bite to the vocals and Juju's efforts seem to get overtaken in the profile stakes, by the trite and cyclical guitars loops on top of the mid-tempo percussion jolts. This Oxford pair has the persona and potential profile to match the impact of duos like The Kills, but they fail to step outside [...]
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive When Courtney Love was working with Linda Perry on the album that would eventually become 'Nobody's Daughter' -- though not the version produced by Perry -- the Hole singer wanted to put an all-female band together. As someone who's worked with a who's who of female artists including Pink , Christina Aguilera and KT Tunstall , Perry is the first to support woman rockers, [...]
This weekend was our first visit to Truck , an intimate and friendly music festival held on a farm near Oxford. This was their 13th such event and was blessed with sunshine throughout. Mrs Mackerel and I took the three Mackerel sprats along on both days and had a thoroughly good time whether it was learning the Poyes(? - top left) , sampling the Rotary Club's top-notch lentil dahl, or singing along to Stornoway as the sun set over the horizon. The line-up was full and varied offering Blood Red Shoes , Mew [...]
Welcome to another week of Video Fight Club where two videos try to kick the s**t out of one another so they can claim the honour and glory that comes with Video of the Day. The Prodigy came out on top in yesterday's battle and 'Invaders Must Die' is our video of the day. Video Fight Club is all about the alternative rock today and we have two acts from opposite sides of the Atlantic for today's battle. On the left we have Oxfords garage rock duo Little [...]

Seeing a legendary band past their heyday is always a risky endeavour. Like the old adage of never meeting your heroes, a lot rides on the encounter, enough to shatter your long-held illusions and wonder what all the fuss was about. In the Vicar Street bar, 80s hits like Frankie's 'Relax' filter through the trickling crowd and reassure fans of tonight's nostalgia factor. It's safe to judge that the gig was geared towards those who remembered the New Wave pioneers first time around. Undeniably this formed the majority of the throng but, much to Blondie 's credit, the crowd [...]
Little Fish release Baffled & Beat Little Fish , the ferocious Oxford based duo, have a sensual energy on stage that draws you in not because it's inviting but because it's inescapable.

Predatory and grimy rocking Oxford pair Juju and Nez, are set to saunter cockily through summer with this edgy single, 'Am I Crazy?'Through to the release of their potentially edgy, brazen and bemused debut album this October. Queen Adreena meets Siouxsie and the Banshees is the vocal stance adopted by Juju. It bounces of the [...]
'Am I Crazy?'premiered on Spinner from a band we have been keeping out eye on since they came out with the single, " Darling Dear " and accompanying video. The guitar-drum duo Little Fish , have the passion and energy in their music that is all too rare in todays indie rock scene. This ferocious UK twosome is made up of Juju, a lithe brunette power house guitarist/singer-songwriter (reminiscent of Chrissie Hynde and PJ Harvey), and Nez, a take no prisoners drummer. In a similar vein with other male female duos (The Kills, The White [...]
Filed under: Video , New Music , Exclusive After watching the video for 'Am I Crazy?' from guitar-drum duo Little Fish , one might draw the conclusion that yes, frontwoman Juju is indeed crazy. But she has a valid excuse. "We control our lives; we control who we are and what we do, or at least we like to think that we do," Juju tells Spinner. "The song 'Am I Crazy' is a reference to the one thing in life that we can never control, and that's [...]
