Fishbone — the legendary Los Angeles band whose genre-defying legacy has never felt more urgent or relevant. They are playing on Friday, August 22 at Club Congress in Tucson. Fishbone’s Stockholm Syndrome — the long-awaited ninth studio album from the legendary genre-bending band — is out now. Their first full-length LP in over two decades, the album marks a blistering return to form, fusing funk, punk, ska, soul, and righteous fury into a sound that’s unmistakably Fishbone. Stream it here: Stockholm Syndrome Fishbone is fronted by the irrepressible Angelo Moore and longtime creative force Christopher Dowd, alongside a revitalized lineup including bassist James Jones, drummer Hassan Hurd, trumpeter/vocalist John “JS” Williams II, and returning guitarist Tracey “Spacey T” Singleton. Stockholm Syndrome speaks to today’s fractured world with the wisdom, fire, and funk only Fishbone can deliver. Fishbone continues their live takeover this summer on the Summer Circus Tour with Less Than Jake, Suicide Machines, Bite Me Bambi and Catbite and select stops of the Vans Warped Tour 2025, including Long Beach and Washington, D.C.
“If you’ve ever been to a Fishbone show, it’s almost a religious experience, with Angelo Moore preaching a sermon to the crowd moshing in the pit before him.” – Dying Scene
“The ska-funk-metal mavericks return, still partying, but even more pissed off…Fishbone is still getting down while the world hovers on the brink. If Moore, Dowd, and Co. are a little madder and broader in their approach now, it’s only because they believe their music can still make a difference, and they’ll do what it takes to be heard.” — Spin Magazine
“A whirlwind of buoyant brass and punk energy, ska grooves, and funk euphoria.” – The Big Takeover
Fishbone is a band. Fishbone is Red Hot. Starting in Junior High School as part of the bussing program transporting students to schools within or outside their local school districts as a means of rectifying racial segregation, Fishbone were breaking stereotypes. This essentially was the spark that started the bands creative and influential drive that would lay the foundation that other bands would follow for decades to follow. Born out of the punk rock scene of Los Angeles, CA, Fishbone came out as a force of songs and live energy leaving bands not wanting to follow them. A feeling that continues today. Signed to Columbia Records in 1984, Fishbone released 4 albums and 3 ep’s and toured the world headlining shows, festivals and leaving people stunned and still one of the best shows ever seen. A constant statement that still is used today from fans to artists that shared the stage with them. After years of touring and rotating members, Fishbone in 2025 is back to their most solid line up which includes original members, Angelo Moore (vocals/Saxophone), Chris Dowd (Keys/Vocals)rounding it out with John “JS” Williams(Trumpet/Vocals) drummer, Hassan Hurd, Aroyn Davis and the return of Trace “Spacey T” Singleton on guitar. With their last critically and fan acclaimed EP recorded produced by Fat Mike of NOFX that came out on Fat Wreck Chords in 2023, in 2024, Fishbone is getting ready to reclaim their live touring throne, leave the audience wanting more, thinking more, influencing younger bands, and paving the foundation and legacy they have been laying for decades. With their latest single “Racist Piece of Shit” coming out ahead of the 2024 Elections and creating much controversy and praise as Fishbone has done for Decades, they will be following up with their new album, “Stockholm Syndrome” out July 2025 #FuckRacism
