Fishbone = mc2
Danny (Shredder) Weizmann, L.A. Weekly, 3 May 1985
Al Einstein, man? He had it all wrong! E isnt the thing that equals mc2. Fishbones riding high off a self-titled cbs ep, rocking down with a mean-ass sophisticated professionalism. Fishbone is matter multiplied infinitely over velocity. I dont wanna label what Fishbone does as some rackety-reggae-funk-punk-ska-skunk-scum bologna. In laymans terms, you could say its the Groove Supreme, but with more attention paid to detail. Lets simply declare it Fishbone.
