Reel Big Fish ("RBF") is a ska punk band from Huntington Beach, California,… Read Full Bio ↴Reel Big Fish ("RBF") is a ska punk band from Huntington Beach, California, United States who broke into the mainstream in the mid to late 1990s, formed in 1992.
Their debut album, "Everything Sucks" (1995), was an underground hit and led to a deal with Mojo Records (see also Mojo), an indie label. "Turn the Radio Off" (1996) established the band in the underground music scene, and they began touring throughout the USA. After the single "Sell Out" began breaking into the mainstream, including MTV, the album made an appearance on the charts. The ska revival was short-lived, however, and "Why Do They Rock So Hard?" (1998) did not lead the group to the mainstream.
Reel Big Fish released "Cheer Up" (2002) which began a movement into harder rock and pop sounds, with much less ska than the previous albums. The song "Where Have You Been?" was aimed at a wider audience, trying to drop the less popular ska sound, but was met with little mainstream success, despite the video. Their second most recent studio album was "We're Not Happy Until You're Not Happy" (2005).
They recently released "Our Live Album is Better Than Your Live Album" (2006) which includes 2 discs worth or their own tunes and a few covers of popular songs along with a DVD. They have worked on the soundtrack to BASEketball, which included a cover of A-Ha's Take On Me.
In 2006, they split from Jive records, who produced a "Best of" album against the will of the band, who could not prevent the release. The band has made a campaign to try and stop people buying the album.
Their 7th album "Monkeys For Nothing and the Chimps For Free" (2007) includes some songs that were previously recorded and released on other albums. It was also the first album with the band's new label, Rock Ridge Records.
In 2009, they released "Fame, Fortune, and Fornication" an album composed of covers of older songs, including "Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty, and "Nothin' But a Good Time" by Poison.
In 2012, Reel Big Fish released "Candy Coated Fury", which is their second album on Rock Ridge Records. This album was met with heavy amounts of criticism from fans and reviewers alike. PunkNews.org gave the album a 2/10.
in 2014, they released "Happy Skalidays", a holiday themed EP.
Their current release is 2018's "Life Sucks... Let's Dance!", which gained generally positive reviews from fans and critics.

Pissed Off
Reel Big Fish Lyrics
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
You're a sneak, a cheat, a liar, and a fake
Every time you flap your gums, you're lyin' to my face
Stealin' every single fuckin' thing that isn't nailed down
You're a bullshit artist and nobody wants you around
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
The time is now and the judgment has come
It's time to pay for all the evil things that you have done
What's gone around has come back around to punish you
For all the wrongs that you couldn't help but go and do
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
That's not what friends are for, that's not what friends are for
Just taking everything I got and now you wanna take more
That's not what friends are for, that's not what friends are for
Just taking everything I got and now you wanna take more
(That's not what friends are for, that's not what friends are for)
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
(Just taking everything I got and now you wanna take more)
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
(That's not what friends are for, that's not what friends are for)
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
(Just taking everything I got and now you wanna take more)
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, and now you regret it
(It, it, it, it)
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
You're a sneak, a cheat, a liar, and a fake
Every time you flap your gums, you're lyin' to my face
Stealin' every single fuckin' thing that isn't nailed down
You're a bullshit artist and nobody wants you around
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
The time is now and the judgment has come
It's time to pay for all the evil things that you have done
What's gone around has come back around to punish you
For all the wrongs that you couldn't help but go and do
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
That's not what friends are for, that's not what friends are for
Just taking everything I got and now you wanna take more
That's not what friends are for, that's not what friends are for
Just taking everything I got and now you wanna take more
(That's not what friends are for, that's not what friends are for)
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off

You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off

You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, you're gonna regret it
You got me pissed off, you got me pissed off
You got me pissed off, and now you regret it
(It, it, it, it)

This never fails to pick me up when someone has "got me pissed off" the epitome of turning a frown upside down!
@garethbates5044
I had to throw a bean bag through a hole to meet these guys when I was a kid at Warp Tour. I was 53 years old then. They were nice young gentlemen and can't wait to see them again.
@GenerousPanda
When this album released in Dec. 2018 it was exactly what I needed after what was easily the worst year of my life, and I'm still jamming to every track. Here's hoping you all have at least one or two more albums worth left in you, I'd like to see you in concert at least one more time 💙💙
@sublimeden
This album is honestly a favorite. Realistically, every RBF album has earned a favorite place, but it's amazing that no matter the years and lineup, they still create killer music just as good as before, I can't say the quality has ever dropped throughout the years, especially given the lineup changes throughout all those years which makes it even more impressive!
@AaronLitz
I was fortunate enough to get to see an RBF show on March 31st 2020 in State College PA, right before the shut downs started. The second time I got to see them live (the first time was a free show on the HUB lawn at Penn State in '99.)
@xFreeGeox
Me too man. I had my worst year in 2018 as well. Hope 2024 is your best year 💪
@gusalva375
Old poeple feeling like young people again, fans never die
@theseedof3475
🍎 Come back to the Sugarmill Stoke again sometime. ❤ and missed RBF over the last few years.
@YimmyYames513
Ska never dies
@nottrevorallen
