WELCOME BACK
Fishbone
The genre-mixing US band return with hard-hitting album, following last year’s Trump-castigating single.
BONO: DOMINIQUE CHARRIAU/WIREIMAGE; THE WHO: SAMIR HUSSEIN/WIREIMAGE; FISHBONE: RAYMOND AMICO/PRESS
Formed in 1979 by high-school friends from LA, Fishbone blazed a trail through musical and societal barriers with a sound that seamlessly stitched together punk, funk, ska, jazz and tooth-loosening riffs, while irrepressible frontman Angelo Moore declaimed socially conscious lyrics. Since the departure of original members Norwood Fisher and Walt Kibby last year, Moore, fellow founder Chris Dowd and returning guitarist Spacey T (formerly of Tom Morello-approved African American metal pioneers Sound Barrier) have defied the odds and returned with a characteristically eclectic new album.
