FISHBONE
Los Angeles, CA

You know who these guys are, and you also know that they only
have one real
ska album. It is, of course, their first, and it's great. I
don't think I need review their other albums here, but they
are all good for what they are, bar GIVE A MONKEY A BRAIN...
As for their self-entitled first album, it before its time.
Officially an EP, this six song CD is a masterpiece. I never
seem to get bored of it, and, to me, it represents the
Eighties.

As for their live show, I've seen them a couple of times.
I've walked away with war injuries at almost every show.
Still, it was always worth it. The things Angelo Moore does
on stage is amazing. It really makes you want to get
involved in the show, and often acquire the scars you can call
your own.

I must admit that what has become of
Fishbone often scares ska fans. I think they associate
financial success with the downfall of the band. In this
case, I would have to agree, but it doesn't mean success holds
the same for every band.

CD: FISHBONE **** (Columbia, pick it up
anywhere) $10
