Pocket FishRmen is a notable underground punk rock ensemble originating from Austin, Texas, with an initial period of activity spanning from 1986 until 2000.
The group was formed by lead vocalist Brant Bingamon, guitarist Cris Burns, bassist Ron Williams, and drummer Marcus Trejo. Their first release came in 1988 with the single "Amy Carter". In 1991, the lineup saw changes as Trejo was succeeded by Snoopy Melvin on drums, and later Ron Williams was replaced by Jason Craig on bass. Their debut full-length album, Future Gods of Rock, was released in 1993. This was followed by the albums Heroes of Modern Perversion in 1997 and Simian Dreams in 1998. The band concluded their initial run with a farewell performance on May 13, 2000, at Austin's Red Eyed Fly.
After reuniting in 2007 with drummer Lance Farley joining the ranks, Pocket FishRmen continued producing music, releasing several albums including Rocko's Not Feeling Well in 2014. In 2017, they compiled their most significant tracks into the greatest-hits album The Greatest Story Ever Told, which was distributed through Saustex Media.
