FISHBONE Still Stuck In Your Throat Terre Records (2006)
A band who have been going since the mid-80's and their music covers may fields from metal to punk via funk and reggae/ska. In fact their mix of styles could be why they are not a bigger band than they are as although this album has some cracking songs others just don't get the old foot tapping.
'Jack Ass Brigade' is superb, catchy hook and 'Let Dem Ho's Fight' has an Ian Anderson flute mixed with System of a Down riffage - very bizarre but enjoyable.
'Party With Saddam' is another infectious tune although some songs like the ska flavoured 'Premandanutt' are not my personal listening choice.
An interesting and varied album that I am sure will delight their fans and if like me you are new to the band its worth a listen, especially the opening four tracks.
