Fishbone

For over four decades, Fishbone has been an unstoppable force in music, 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. Despite lineup shifts over the years,. 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 guitarist Tracey Spacey T Singleton. Fishbone has always thrived on resilience, adaptability, and reinvention. The band has weathered decades of industry shifts, 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. Fishbone’s legacy isn’t just about their past—it’s about their future. The band is moving forward, ready to reconnect with old fans and inspire a new generation, all while continuing to live their truth and write their story with dignity and defiance.
