Silverfish at the All-Music Guide (currently little more than what I've got here, actually, but there is a lovely photo).

unsolicited advice
Start with Organ Fan - the CBS version if you can find it (it has 2-3 more tracks than the Creation version, plus Lesley's gender-switch versions of the Jesus Hererra [is that his last name? I never remember] calendario artwork which appears on the Creation release) (whew, take a breath). "Big Bad Baby Pigsqueal" features the perfect-slogan chorus "hips tits lips power" ("are you afraid of me?") - you will not be able to stop singing it, even if you want to.

Fat Axl is also quite good - rawer and rocker than the (more industrial, Foetus-produced) Organ Fan - I think Steve Albini produced FA - and features a supremely snarly cover of "White Lines."

All of Silverfish is supremely snarly, really. Snatch up whatever you can find! The T&G releases are still in print, and CBS (being a major label) printed a million Organ Fans, so it shouldn't be hard to find one in a better bargain bin near you.
