Fishbone mark the 40th anniversary of their In Your Face album with the 10 April 2026 release of the remastered In Your Face and tribute album Cover Your Face limited-edition double LP. The day before this comes out they will kick off a headlining nationwide spring tour.
Artists contributing their takes on the songs from Cover Your Face are:
Twin Shadow – “When Problems Arise”
“I’m eight years old, sitting on the couch watching Saturday Night Live… They launch into ‘Sunless Saturday,’ and it’s the most electrifying thing I’ve ever seen on television… That moment rewired me… When Fishbone asked me to be part of the new release of their first album, I immediately thought ‘Problems Arise’… Fishbone has always been dance music to me. With my version, I wanted to accentuate that feeling and push it somewhere personal.” — George “Twin Shadow” Lewis Jr.
Patrick Stump – “A Selection”
“The first time I was exposed to Fishbone I was 7 years old watching TV. It was an explosion of punk, ska, soul, metal, reggae, and funk played by one of the tightest bands I’ve still have ever seen, and it all flowed together seamlessly. To this day I can trace my obsession with musical eclecticism back to that moment.” — Patrick Stump
Catbite – “I Wish I Had a Date”
“On a global scale Fishbone changed the musical landscape forever… It has been a privilege to share the stage with Fishbone and now even more so to contribute our modest offering to honor their legacy.” — Catbite
Wheatus – “Movement in the Light”
“When I saw the dm from Fishbone I stared at it for like 5 minutes reliving the moment I saw Angelo do a front flip into the crowd while wearing a saxophone at Lollapalooza ’93… I still can’t believe this is happening. omfg.” — Brendan B. Brown
The Ratchets – “Give It Up”
“It is seemingly impossible to imagine coming up in the alternative music scene of the 80s and 90s and not be inspired by the unique, energetic, and genre-defying style of Fishbone… an absolute pleasure and honor to get the opportunity to do.” — Zak Kaplan
Silversun Pickups – “In the Air”
“We’re Angelinos… If you lived here and you liked to drag mud on the carpet on all the wrong things in the world… you had to know Fishbone… This was a huge honor for us and we’re extremely proud to be a tiny blip in their legacy. — Brian Aubert
Kimya Dawson – “Turn the Other Way”
“I was honored but intimidated to be asked to record this cover, the song felt far more complex than anything I could replicate, especially on a tight deadline. But after sitting with the lyrics and reflecting on what In Your Face meant to me at 14, when I first saw people being weird, outspoken, and unapologetically themselves, I found my footing. I’m not a technical virtuoso, but I know how to be me. So, I took Fishbone’s words and did it my way. That’s what they taught me: be yourself and speak up. It means everything to be recognized by a band that inspired so many of us, and 14-year-old me would think 53-year-old me landing here is cool as hell.” — Kimya Dawson
Doom Regulator feat. Tim Armstrong, Jesse Michaels, Joey Castillo & Spencer Pollard – “Simon Says ‘The Kingpin’”
“Me and Tim have been listening to Fishbone since the 80s. Operation Ivy used to rock their demo on the boom box on our way to band practice… It’s an honor to pay tribute to them.” — Jesse Michaels
Dave Hill – “Post Cold War Politics”
“I’ve been a Fishbone fan since I was a teenager… I am absolutely honored and totally freaking the hell out.” — Dave Hill
