The project of Olympia, WA-based songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Ben Funkhouser,
@fish_narc channels decades of underground noise into a complex web of DIY punk sensibilities and distinctive ā90s alt-rock melancholy. Leaning on influences from SST,
@krecs , and the DIY scene he grew up in, fish narcās Audiotree Live performance blends the raw spirit of Pacific Northwest punk with gauzy guitar work and earnest lyricism.
If his music sounds familiar, you may be familiar with fish narcās work within the expansive
@gothboiclique universe. A founding member of the pioneering emo rap group, Funkhouserās innovative guitar playing became emblematic of the group and helped shape the sound of the movement they pioneered. As a songwriter, Funkhouser has turned his focus inward, crafting a solo catalog thatās gritty, poignant, and vulnerable.
