Interviews: In conversation with Chris Dowd of Fishbone

Fishbone have just released their new self-titled EP. Recorded and produced by Fat Mike of NOFX, this EP sees 4 of the 6 original members reuniting to create powerful, vital music that serves as the soundtrack to the world we are living in now. The five tracks prove without a doubt that even as Fishbone celebrate 40 years, they remain red hot. Fishbone will be playing Punk Rock Bowling this weekend, will be touring Europe in July, and will be supporting George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic on their US tour this summer. Fishbone is out now via Bottles To The Ground. Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with Chris Dowd to talk about recording with the band for the first time since the 90s, working on the new EP, the state of the world, and so much more.

‘The Little Mermaid’ Review: You don’t want to be where this movie is

<p>If there’s one lesson we’ve all learned over the last decade, it’s that intellectual property is king. As consumers, we’re its subjects, and the navel-gazing nostalgia that now defines so much of Walt Disney Studios’ output is it’s blessing and curse. Sure, remakes like Rob Marshall’s The Little Mermaid saved the company from its early-’10s collapse – better to stuff up the schedule with easily-recognizable and shareholder-oriented properties with proven franchise potential than to squander it on Mars Needs Moms […]</p>
