For over four decades, Fishbone has been an unstoppable force in music, well-known genre disrupters fusing punk, ska, funk, and soul into an explosive sound that is as socially conscious as it is musically innovative. Emerging from the Los Angeles punk scene, the band quickly carved out a reputation for their high-energy performances and fearless engagement with political and social issues.On June 27, 2025, Fishbone releasedtheir highly anticipated ninth studio album, Stockholm Syndrome, marking their first full-length LP in over 20 years. The album, a raw and powerful statement on modern life, picks up where the band left off in 1995—packed with infectious melodies, pure chaos, and politically charged anthems alongside reflections on life, relationships, and redemption. The first single, "Racist Piece of Shit" (aka "RxPxOxS"), dropped in November 2024, delivering a searing critique of global racism with Fishbone’s signature intensity. Their next single, "Last Call In America” co-written by original members Christopher Dowd and Walter “Dirty Walt” Kibbyis a groove-driven commentary on the nation’s current economic and social struggles.“This song is a warning call to humanity to recognize the inflection point that is tearing the soul of this country and world apart,” shares Christopher Dowd.
Despite lineup shifts over the years, Fishbone's spirit remains unwavering. 2024 saw significant changes as founding members Norwood Fisher and Walter Kibby stepped away, leaving the band in the capable hands of frontman Angelo Moore (vocals, saxophones) and longtime collaborator Christopher Dowd (keyboards, trombone, vocals). The current lineup also features James Jones (bass), Hassan Hurd (drums), John “JS” Williams II (trumpet, vocals), and the return of former Fishbone guitaristTracey Spacey T Singleton. This evolution signals not just continuation, but a reinvigoration of Fishbone’s legacy.Fishbone has always thrived on resilience, adaptability, and reinvention. The band has weathered decades of industryshifts, internal struggles, and lineup changes, yet their mission remains the same: to push boundaries, challenge injustice, and music and art in a way that only Fishbone can. Their journey has been documented in Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone(released in 2010), capturing their highs and lows, from pioneering the fusion of stylesto facing industry struggles and personal setbacks.The road to Stockholm Syndromehas been long, but Fishbone is surging forward with a renewed sense of purpose. Having recently shared stages with Madness, Tool, and Primus, as well as headlining successful winter tours in both the USA and Europe, and summer headline shows in the USA aswell as Less Than Jake’s Summer Circus Tour Long Beach and D.C. stops of Vans Warped Tour 2025.Fishbone’s legacy isn’t just about their past—it’s about their future. With Stockholm Syndrome, they reclaim their place as musical revolutionariesand genre disrupters, proving that their message and musicare as vital as ever. The band is moving forward, ready to reconnect with old fans and inspire a new generation, all while continuing to livetheir truth and write their story with dignity and defiance.
