• Fishbone Declares Ska-Punk Dead, Fans Riot Outside Studio!

In a shocking turn of events, legendary ska-punk band Fishbone announced yesterday that ska-punk is “officially dead,” sparking chaos among devoted fans. The declaration came during a livestream Q&A from their Los Angeles studio, where frontman Angelo Moore stated, “We’ve taken ska-punk as far as it can go. It’s time to move on.” Within hours, dozens of fans gathered outside the studio, chanting and demanding the band retract their statement. Some reportedly lit flares and held signs reading “SKA LIVES!” and “HORNS FOREVER!” Security intervened before the crowd could breach the studio entrance, but tensions remain high. Other ska-punk bands, including Less Than Jake and Catbite, released statements reassuring fans that the genre is far from dead. As rumors swirl about Fishbone’s possible pivot to funk-rock, many in the community feel betrayed, while others await clarification on what the band’s future holds. For now, fans continue to rally outside the studio, blasting classic Fishbone records and insisting ska-punk will never die.
