Artist History The subject was first officially documented in the summer of 1997 (Liquid Libation). However, reports exist from as early as 1994. Since then, numerous sightings have been observed, including two more official documentations; one in 1999(demough), and one in 2001(Esox masquinongy). Native to York County, Pennsylvania, the elusive Chatterfish is continually evolving and expected to be a phenomenon for years to come.

Press Reviews "From York, Chatterfish performed an all-original set of tunes, blending melodic alternative elements with heavy angst ridden-metal. Their style was raw and unpredictable with rapidfire metallic breaks and angst-ridden triades lurking just around every corner." Jim Price, Pennsylvania Musician Magazine "It's like Fugazi VS. Mr. Bungle, with NOFX as referee, in early '90s Seattle!!" -Alouicious Vladski- "Frantic, exciting, and original!! The love child of Primus and They Might Be Giants!" Kent, Bass, The Grimm www.thegrimm.com "The Melvins smacked The Boredoms while The Apples in Stereo watched." Jason Rubal, Seventh Wave Recording/Production. "Very strange... Its very difficult to describe this band, they sound sort of like a mix between Primus and NoFx." _review from 'Zine: Society's Virus http://www.angelfire.com/emo/unicorn_killers/cd02.html
