Some primitive early 4-track recordings and oft ramshackle live shows followed which saw the the band expanding to a 5 piece with the addition of Joe Wrigley and Peter Conway in 2007. The new additions were a galvanising force that soon saw the band expanding it's sound into a soupy amalgam of all kinds of DIY music spanning the past 50 years. From the skiffle punk of 6 5 Special, the country twangy indie pop of Cockatoo and the Stereolab/Velvets drone of 'Skit'. Ex-Skull Tanker (and current Cuban Crimewave + Cult of Dom Keller) drummer/bassist David Biggs replaced Joe on bass in 2009.

FISTS released their latest 7" Ascending b/w Stag through Hello Thor on February 21st 2011.
