Fishbone – all set to release their explosive, one-take live cover of Alice in Chains’ “Them Bones”

Los Angeles genre-defying legends Fishbone will release their explosive, one-take live cover of Alice in Chains’ “Them Bones” on December 19th, 2025, across all major streaming platforms.

The performance was filmed and recorded live at the Museum of Pop Culture’s (MoPop) annual Founders Award benefit in December 2020 and was originally part of a tribute honouring Alice in Chains as they received MoPop’s prestigious Founders Award. Five years later, Fishbone is commemorating the moment by making their standout performance officially available for the first time.

“It was LA’s funk/punk/rock/ska pioneers Fishbone who may have stolen the show, with their groovy and explosive cover of ‘Them Bones’ that was driven by punchy horns, dissonant vocal harmonies, and a rock meets R&B sensibility that was incredibly original,” shared Spill Magazine.

For more than four decades, Fishbone has remained one of music’s most fearless and groundbreaking bands, genre disruptors whose fusion of punk, ska, funk, soul, and rock has pushed boundaries and challenged expectations. Emerging from the Los Angeles punk scene, the band quickly earned and has maintained a reputation for blistering live shows and their socially conscious, politically charged voice.

On June 27, 2025, Fishbone released ‘Stockholm Syndrome’, their first full-length album in over 20 years and garnered rave reviews. Raw, urgent, and deeply reflective, the record tackles modern life with the band’s trademark chaos, groove, and sharp-edged commentary.  Punk Rock Mag said, “ ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ is a triumph—an album that doesn’t just live up to Fishbone’s legacy, but expands it. It’s biting, brilliant, and bursting with life. For longtime fans, it’s the return you’ve been waiting for. For new listeners, it’s a hell of an introduction.” While Classic Rock Magazine thinks, “Still insanely entertaining and still kicking against the pricks, Fishbone have never been more needed.”

With ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ and the release of ‘Them Bones’ Fishbone continues to reaffirm their legacy as musical revolutionaries, still challenging, still innovating, and still inspiring new generations.

The band is currently working on new songs to be released in 2026.
