No, The Batfish Boys is not a goth band, because they play Hard/Garage Rock, while goth music consists of Gothic Rock and its derived genres, like Deathrock, Darkwave, Ethereal Wave, and Coldwave.

However, they do have a significant goth influence and even have some goth songs in their repertoire, like "Lootenant Lush".

It is important to note that while this band is not goth, its members did make goth music as part of acts like Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Skeletal Family, and The March Violets.
