Los Angeles, California based rockers Fishbone have been pedaling their unique and eclectic brand of rock-and-roll since 1979, and tomorrow we see the release of their eighth studio album Stockholm Syndrome.
In 2025 Fishbone is still laying down infectious grooves inside a soundscape only traversable by themselves. Eight albums deep and forty some years later the band still maintains their unique blend of funk, ska and punk in a way that’s just as tasteful and fun as it always has been.
The album kicks off with the funk-laden, world conscious “Last Call In America,” jumping straight into a more punk leaning “Adolescent Regressive Behavior,” an immediate tell of the band’s drastic sonic leaps being just as prominent as ever.
With “Suckered by Sabotage” we get thrash punk guitars that lead us right into a nasty reggae dub groove followed immediately by “Secret Police,” which comes in with the same air and atmosphere as a Killing Joke or The Cure song, a droning and darker experience for this album, reminiscent of Bowie.
Without spoiling the rest of the album and its creative direction, I’ll put it simply: Fishbone is just as full-force as ever before. Just as explorative and dynamic and youthful without a fear of showing age. Pickup your copy of Stockholm Syndrome tomorrow, Friday, June 27, and get down with Fishbone—this album has a little bit of something for everyone.
