For over four decades, Fishbone has stood as one of music’s most defiant and visionary forces—a sonic volcano erupting with punk, ska, funk, soul, hard rock, and unflinching social commentary. Fronted by the electrifying Angelo Moore, the Los Angeles-bred band built its name on chaotic brilliance, truth-telling lyrics, and performances that blur the line between concert and spiritual exorcism.
Now, in 2025, Fishbone isn’t just looking back on its legacy—they’re reclaiming it.
On June 27, Fishbone releases its long-awaited ninth studio album, Stockholm Syndrome—their first full-length LP in over two decades. The album signals a bold new era: as raw, urgent, and rebellious as anything in their catalog, yet sharpened by decades of experience, reinvention, and refusal to fade away.
Stockholm Syndrome arrives at a critical moment. Founding members Norwood Fisher and Walter “Dirty Walt” Kibby stepped away in 2024, leaving the band’s legacy in the capable hands of Moore and longtime collaborator Christopher Dowd. Rather than slow down, the change reinvigorated the group.
Together, they’ve crafted an album that roars with relevance and fire. Produced by Fishbone, Aryon Davis, and Chris McGrew, and mixed by Cameron Webb, the record even includes a provocative bonus CD track titled “My God Is Better Than You’re Gawd.” The message is clear: Fishbone is still calling out hypocrisy, still celebrating liberation, and still impossible to ignore.
At the center of it all is Angelo Moore—a performer as magnetic as he is mercilessly honest. Saxophonist, poet, and provocateur, Moore fuses musical brilliance with a sense of purpose. His onstage presence is unmatched: a shape-shifting force of soul revival and punk sermon.
“I don’t just perform—I transform,” Moore says. “My music isn’t just entertainment—it’s alchemy. It’s liberation.”
Fishbone’s journey hasn’t been easy. Their story—captured in the acclaimed 2010 documentary Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone—chronicles the band’s artistry, struggles, and resilience. Through every chapter, their commitment to speaking truth through music never wavered.
Fishbone isn’t here for nostalgia. They’re here to reignite. Stockholm Syndrome is both battle cry and celebration—music that provokes as much as it grooves, that dances on the edge of collapse, only to burst into freedom.
“I don’t write controversy—I write truth,” Moore declares. “And the truth is uncomfortable when you’re used to being lied to.”
On June 27, the truth arrives—with horns, distortion, rhythm, and revolution. Fishbone is back. And they never left.
In 2025, they hit the road again—joining Less Than Jake’s Summer Circus Tour and appearing at Warped Tour 2025, with stops in Long Beach, Washington, D.C.
