Fishbone’s Stockholm Syndrome — Proof That You Can’t Cage a Funk-Punk Octopus

Fishbone's back with Stockholm Syndrome—their first studio album in 20+ years—and it sounds like they're firing on all cylinders. That genre-blending chaos they're known for (funk, thrash, reggae, doo-wop) paired with sharp social commentary? Classic Fishbone. "Last Call in America" as an opener promises they're not holding back. After two decades, they're still impossible to categorize and angrier than ever—exactly what we need right now.
