Lungfish is an American post-hardcore band that was founded in 1987 in Baltimore, Maryland. The group originated from a collaboration between vocalist Daniel Higgs and bassist John Chriest, who created sound collages and loops for Higgs' poetry readings. They later joined forces with guitarist Asa Osborne, who had previously played in the hardcore band Reptile House with Higgs. After adding drummer Mitchell Feldstein to the lineup, Lungfish released their debut album "Necklace of Heads" through Simple Machines and Dischord Records.

Despite facing uncertainty when Higgs moved to San Francisco early on, the positive response to "Necklace of Heads" encouraged Lungfish to continue touring. Throughout their career, they primarily worked with Dischord Records. In 1994, Chriest left the band and was replaced by Sean Meadows from June Of 44. Nathan Bell took over as bassist starting from 1998's "Artificial Horizon," but Meadows returned for the release of their 2003 LP "Love Is Love."

Since 2005, Lungfish has been on indefinite hiatus.

from their inception in 1988 until their hiatus in 2006, the lungfish music band released 11 full-length albums and played concerts across the united states and in europe. the band is reknowned for intense creative productivity, releasing albums annually from the years 1992 - 2000. but what is not generally known is that volumes of lungfish material never saw the light of day. the 1999 a.c.r. session offers a rare glimpse into some of this elusive material and by extention, into the lungfish creative process. these 10-songs were recorded and mixed by craig bowen at baltimore's a.c.r. studios but never released. after the session the band decided to continue writing new songs -ultimately recording at inner ear studios what became 'necrophones' (2000). six of these songs were re-recorded and released on 'necrophones', while four others remained unreleased, until now.
