Little Fish
Gritty, high-energy garage rock with a bluesy soul. Raw vocals and jagged guitars that feel like a live wire in a small, dark room.

Little Fish, led by Julia 'Juju' Sophie Heslop and JB Walker, emerged from the Oxford scene in the mid-2000s with a sound rooted in garage rock and blues-inflected alternative. Their identity is defined by Juju's late-bloomer approach to music; having been a competitive athlete before picking up a guitar, her songwriting lacks the typical tropes of indie-rock irony, favoring instead a brutal, physical honesty.
Their 2010 debut, 'Baffled and Beat', produced by Linda Perry, showcased a blend of PJ Harvey's art-rock tension and the raw power of Skunk Anansie. Critically, they were noted for their high-energy live shows and Juju's versatile vocal range, which draws comparisons to Patti Smith and Sinéad O'Connor. While their commercial peak was centered around the early 2010s, they remain a cult favorite for those seeking rock music that prioritizes emotional stakes and live-room dynamics over studio perfection. Their later work experimented with electronic elements while maintaining a 'garage' recording ethos.
