Story

The Fish Police came together through Heart n Soul, a creative arts company who believe in the talents and power of people with learning disabilities.   

Formed of two autistic musicians and two non-disabled musicians, the band has been invited to perform their own music and host a panel at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, this March.

 The Fish Police are a four-piece band from London. They are made up of Dean Rodney on vocals, Matthew Howe on guitar. Charles Stuart on bass and vocals and Andrew Mclean on drums. Felipe Pagani sits in live on guitar from time to time.   Musically they are a bit like crossing a young James Earl Jones reciting nursery rhymes against a backdrop of DIY electronics made by people who don’t really know what they are doing. 

The new EP deals with Cactus plants and why you shouldn’t climb them, The fact that cars just keep coming and coming and why Helicopter isn’t wearing any shoes.  

We now have until Sunday 11 March to raise the funds we need to get the band to Texas and we would love your help!
