Hailing from Dallas, TX, Hagfish played a type of pop punk that helped them to fit in as perfectly next to the likes of Tripping Daisy and the Toadies as they did with Face To Face and the Descendents. Over the course of 10 years, three albums (four if you count the spin-off band Armstrong’s full-length), one live album, and one compilation, the band forged a path that was raucous, a bit raunchy, and always a sh*t-ton of fun.
