Serving out a crazy fusion of ska punk and funk metal since ’79 is LA native septet Fishbone, their sound marked by quirky vocals, wailing brass, and heavy guitars with random melodic breaks. Jacksonville natives Whole Wheat Bread – “Nasty Nigga Fleetwood” on the guitar and lead vocals, “Mr. Whitefolks” on drums, and “Willy” on bass – warms up the stage on Fishbone’s current tour. Drawing on their rap background, the three-piece flows rhymes on top of punk-rock instrumentals and choruses.
