Truth and Soul

Truth and Soul is Fishbone's 1988 full-length that fuses ska, funk, punk and rock into a horn-driven, high-energy sound. The album pairs tight funk grooves and offbeat ska rhythms with aggressive guitar and punk intensity, often shifting styles and tempos within songs, and features socially conscious lyrics delivered with urgent vocals and prominent brass arrangements. Its eclectic, live-in-the-studio feel highlights the band's taste for genre-blending and kinetic performances.
