The Ill-Fitting Garibaldis are primarily an alternative rock band, formed in Wakefield, United Kingdom during the early months of 2006; although since 2013 they've opted for the self-styled genre tag 'unpop'.

An original lineup of Steve Wicked, Rory McButt and David Picklesworth was soon revised to what is generally known as The Garibaldis' golden period, with Robert Heart replacing bassist, Picklesworth for 2008's '(Also Known As) Constellations'.

Over a productive five years, the Steve-Rob-Rory trio released twelve singles, five EPs, two live albums and five studio albums, culminating in 2013's 'Something for everyone to dislike.' - a title referencing the groups cult status. A track like "If You Only Knew" exemplifies the band's move away from its early punk roots.

Unperturbed by the critical rejection of all their work - from the easy listening 'Kissing Sally In The Smoking Room' through 4 hour magnum opus 'Hope And Monet' - The Garibaldis' continued to make music destined only to be heard by themselves. Numerous side-projects from the time reveal the immense creativity of the trio, best exemplified by a litany of releases as Glenson Heart McBrute.

Something for everyone to dislike.'s release was followed by the announcement of McButt's firing. Insults and accusations were traded across social media outlets between bandmembers. Wicked and Heart, having released music previously under the moniker Steve + Rob continue on as a duo, officially rebranding themselves TIFG in 2014.
