Los Angeles ska-punk-funk pioneers Fishbone are diving headfirst into the Halloween spirit with the release of their new video for ‘Adolescent Regressive Behavior,’ taken from their critically acclaimed new album, ‘Stockholm Syndrome‘ (released June 27th, 2025).
The video features visuals from Hell’s Bells, the 1929 comedy-horror animated short directed by Ub Iwerks and produced by Walt Disney, in which Satan and his minions cavort through the fiery depths of hell. It’s a perfect pairing with Fishbone’s explosive track, a song that channels emotional chaos, inner demons, and the dark humor of facing one’s past.
“It’s about life experiences from childhood through adulthood and navigating them through trial and error, friendships, partnerships, bands, make-ups and break-ups, love and abuse, resentments and grudges. We think counseling and rehabilitation programs help us overcome these challenges, but when we unexpectedly encounter people from our past, old traumas can resurface, showing up in the person we’ve become,” shares Angelo Moore.
“This autobiographical story is encapsulated by a tale of emotional conflict that swirls in a gumbo of rhythm and blues,” adds Christopher Dowd.
