The legendary genre-defiers Fishbone are capping off a monumental year with a sonic explosion, officially releasing their long-coveted live cover of Alice in Chains’ “Them Bones.” Captured in a single, blistering take during the 2020 MoPop Founders Award tribute, this release is more than just a cover—it is a historic document marking the only time the original lineup has performed together publicly since 1993. Driven by punchy horns and that signature dissonant vocal harmony, Fishbone transforms the grunge classic into a soulful, R&B-infused riot that Spill Magazine rightly claimed “stole the show.” It is a powerful reminder of the deep, mutual respect between these 90s alt-rock titans and a gift to fans who have been clamoring for an official recording of this “red hot” performance for five years.
This release follows the massive success of their June 2025 album ‘Stockholm Syndrome’, their first full-length effort in two decades, which proved the band hasn’t lost a single ounce of their bite. With tracks like the George Clinton-assisted “Last Call in America” and the scorching “Racist Piece of Shit,” the album has been hailed as a vital masterclass in controlled mayhem. As the band prepares to head back into the studio for new 2026 material, they are also hitting the stage for select dates, including a highly anticipated support slot for Dance Hall Crashers at the House of Blues Chicago this April. Still innovative and still kicking against the pricks, Fishbone continues to expand their legacy as the ultimate musical revolutionaries.
