After Fishboneseemingly split up, Norwood Fisher, founding member of the band, has unveiled a new project inspired by his passion for improvised Dub Reggae. Featuring musicians from Fishbone, The Skeletones, Social Distortion, The English Beat, Suicidal Tendencies, and Norwood's supergroup Trulio Disgracias, the track promises an upbeat, danceable fusion of Reggae, Rock, and Ska.
Fisher has joined forces with friends for a fresh project dubbed The Familyhood Nextperience. Their inaugural single, "To the Hilt," is now available for streaming on all major platforms through DC-Jam Records.
The single was produced by Norwood and Derek O'Brien (who also mixed the effort) and Mastered by Rick Keeler.
The following message was taken from a social media post by Fishbone on Instagram posted Thursday, April 25th (see below):
Being married is hard. Being in a family is hard. Being in a band is being married to several family members at the same time.
There have been a lot of changes going on. None have been this difficult... Fishbone has had a revolving door of valued and appreciated members over the last 40+ years.
As times change, so must we, and in trying to make the necessary changes, there have been several discussions within this family, some discussions going about as well as family discussions tend to do...
At a certain point, adults have to agree to disagree and step away from the table in order to preserve the bonds that brought them together in the first place.
As a result, in May, Fishbone may look a little different, and we hope you'll give it a chance knowing that we did not make any decision lightly or without due process.
If anyone who has purchased tickets to see Fishbone this summer and feel you don't want to give this line up a chance, while bummed, we will absolutely help in making sure you are fully refunded.
We will be continuing to support all projects of members of the Fishbone Universe.
All shows announced moving forward will be happening.
