What?!? This is a LEGENDARY band! I sat with Angelo Moore, Spacey T, and Chris Dowd of Fishbone while they were on the Summer Circus Tour with Less Than Jake, Suicide Machines, and Catbite.

We go on many tangents and cover some history of the band and what they're up to now, including the release of their first full length album in over two decades, "Stockholm Syndrome" which is available everywhere now.
