Fishwife was a punk rock band from San Diego, California, which existed from 1990 to 1993. Consisting of Ryan Foxe (vocals), Matt Ohlin (bass guitar), Gar Wood (guitar), and Chris Prescott (drums), the group was known for its dissonant mathcore sound characteristic of the San Diego punk scene of the time, their often humorous lyrics, and for Foxe's wild onstage antics.[1] Fishwife broke up in 1993 when Ryan Foxe moved to New York City to pursue school. Prescott, Ohlin, and Wood subsequently formed the band Tanner, and Ryan Foxe later sang in the garage rock group the Let Downs.[2]
