FISHBONE RELEASES NEW VIDEO FOR “DOG EAT DOG”
FROM THEIR HIGHLY PRAISED ALBUM STOCKHOLM SYNDROME
A Fan-Created Visual Hits Home About One of the Harsh
Realities of the Music Business
Legendary ska-punk-funk pioneers Fishbone are set to release their next video for “Dog Eat Dog,” a song that takes a hard, unflinching look at the music business from the inside out. Watch HERE.
When the band received a fan-created video for “Dog Eat Dog,” they knew immediately it had to become the official video for the track. “Dog Eat Dog” dives deep into the highs and heartbreaks of record deals and the artist-label relationship. The honeymoon phase, the fallout, and the fight to reclaim ownership and independence. The song reflects Fishbone’s own journey through the industry from early success and label backing to navigating debt, rights reclamation, and the modern challenges of streaming and survival as independent artists.
Angelo Moore shares, “This song is about reclaiming the artist’s master recordings and publishing back through pre-emptive legal strike. It tells the story of how an artist can attain the rights to their own music after signing over to what seemed to be a contract perpetuity and no return.” Chris Dowd adds, “We have all heard this story of grift and gaming …the road to the top is filled with shattered dreams, bad breaks, and setbacks…Dog Eat Dog is the fight of an artist to reclaim their legacy.”
The video arrives as Stockholm Syndrome continues to draw widespread acclaim for its unapologetic blend of punk, funk, ska, soul, and fury, with outlets like Spin, Classic Rock Magazine, and Punk News hailing it as the band’s most vital work in decades. The band—fronted by Angelo Moore (vocals, saxophones) and Christopher Dowd (keyboards, trombone, vocals), with James Jones (bass), Hassan Hurd (drums), John “JS” Williams II (trumpet, vocals), and Tracey “Spacey T” Singleton (guitar) is currently working on more music and preparing 2026 tour plans.
After decades in the game, Fishbone continues to forge forward on their own terms.
