Rejected Fish

As part of PNKSLM's 10 year anniversary series of special releases/represses - we're over the moon to finally present Shitkid - "Rejected Fish"! This is the previously unheard, studio version of the now legendary debut album "Fish". Shitkid originally recorded "Fish" at MFG Studios here in Stockholm, with myself Luke Reilly on production duties. The week before it got sent of to the vinyl pressing plant though, Ã…sa had a bit of a panic that it "sounded too good for Shitkid" - and she ended up re-recording all the songs herself on garageband (mostly in her car) - and this super lo-fi take was the version that ended up getting released. Obviously at the time ourselves, plus our PR and radio partners were a little shocked, but as always, Ã…sa made the right move (in Shitkid we trust) and the album went on to be the best selling PNKSLM vinyl, streamed millions, won awards, and made fans out of the likes of Iggy Pop and Billie Joe Armstrong. And almost the best part was how divisive the lo-fi recordings made the record - Fish received both the best and worst reviews we've ever had on the label! So yeah, obviously with Ã…sa's permission - we're now releasing the studio version of the album on a very limited run of 1000 vinyl total.
