Fists
Fists are an indie rock band who live, write and rehearse out of a tiny bedroom studio above a video shop in central Nottingham. They formed in 2006 around a 4-track tape machine, drum kit, practice amp, washboard and a raft of junked keyboards. They claim to have been influenced by lo-fi tape pioneers such as Simon Joyner and Daniel Johnston, the experimental home-recorded '50s pop of producer Joe Meek and an armload of thrash, punk and indie rock records from the '80s and '90s. Their music is characterised by its wonky country twang, vintage heavy metal bass lines, pounding drums and noise rock squall that awkwardly underscores the bands ramshackle, off-kilter pop songs.
