Vic(June 27, 2025) Today marks the official release of Stockholm Syndrome, the long-awaited ninth studio album from legendary genre-bending band Fishbone. Their first full-length LP in two decades, the album is a blistering return to form—equal parts funk, punk, ska, soul, and righteous fury.

“The band sounds refreshed and reinvigorated as they kick out 12 red-hot tracks that will have you dancing, moshing, and thinking. Their lyrics are some of their sharpest and most reflective to date as they tackle the rise of fascism and racism in America, dive into the predatory nature of the record industry, discuss interpersonal conflict and emotional turmoil, and remind us that love is the most important thing of all.” – Punk News
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.
“Still insanely entertaining and still kicking against the pricks, Fishbone have never been more needed. Everything fizzes with vitality… genre-hopping glee is as infectious as ever.” – Classic Rock Magazine
With the world seemingly on fire, Fishbone sounds more necessary than ever. Stockholm Syndrome tackles racism, economic disparity, state violence, media manipulation, and spiritual survival with fearless lyrics and feral energy. “This album stands as a musical refuge against oppression, a soulful reggae-rock album for the people. If that’s not punk rock, then I don’t know what is.” – I’m Music Magazine
“A whirlwind of buoyant brass and punk energy, ska grooves, and funk euphoria.”
– The Big Takeover
Stockholm Syndrome speaks to today’s fractured world with the wisdom, fire, and funk only Fishbone can deliver. Now available digitally, on CD (featuring the bonus track “My Gawd is Your Gawd”), and on red vinyl in several editions: solid red at Fishbone.com, red with white splatter at independent retailers, and red with black splatter at all tour dates—while supplies last.
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
