The Revolution IS About To Be Televised!

Fishbone doesn’t just dip a toe into political commentary—they cannonball straight in, horns blazing and fists clenched. With “Last Call in America,” the legendary fusion outfit delivers a blistering, funk-punk sermon that feels like a midnight transmission from a country teetering on the edge.

The track opens with Fishbone’s signature energy: chaotic yet tight, wild yet calculated. Angelo Moore’s vocals alternate between frantic and prophetic, shouting warnings through a megaphone of ska-infused horns and sharp-edged guitars. There’s an urgency here that echoes the best of their early '90s material—think The Reality of My Surroundings—but there’s also a seasoned weariness in the lyrics, a feeling that they’ve been yelling into the void for far too long.

“Last Call in America” isn’t just a song—it’s a wake-up slap. Lyrically, it’s drenched in biting satire and sociopolitical commentary, taking aim at corruption, greed, apathy, and the decay of civic unity. But Fishbone doesn’t wallow in despair—they rage, they dance, and they remind us that rebellion can (and should) come with a groove.

The instrumentation is, as always, top-tier. The horns are razor-sharp, the rhythm section pounds with purpose, and the guitar riffs come in hot with punk-funk fury. It’s vintage Fishbone: no genre boundaries, no apologies.

In a world where protest songs often lean either too preachy or too polished, Fishbone still knows how to make the revolution sound like a party you must be at.

Verdict:
“Last Call in America” is a masterclass in musical defiance—a chaotic, funky warning flare from a band that’s never lost its fire. Turn it up, listen closely, and don’t miss the message. The call is coming from inside the country.

“Last Call in America” was co-written by original members Christopher Dowd and Walter “Dirty Walt” Kibby and features the godfather of funk, George Clinton. The track is from their forthcoming album Stockholm Syndrome.
