About
Peter and the Test Tube Babies are an English punk rock band formed in Peacehaven, Sussex in 1978 by vocalist Peter Bywaters and guitarist Derek "Del Strangefish" Greening. Their debut album Pissed and Proud (1982) reached #1 on the UK independent charts, and the 1983 follow-up The Mating Sounds of South American Frogs sold over 100,000 copies. Known for sardonic, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, they are considered a key act of the "punk pathetique" subgenre and have kept touring and recording for over four decades.
