Legendary Ska Punk Funk pioneers Fishbone have released the video for Dog Eat Dog, a track taken from their critically acclaimed Stockholm Syndrome album. The song that takes a hard, unflinching look at the music business from the inside out. When the band received a fan-created video for Dog Eat Dog, they knew immediately it had to become the official video for the track. Dog Eat Dog dives deep into the highs and heartbreaks of record deals and the artist label relationship. The honeymoon phase, the fallout, and the fight to reclaim ownership and independence. The song reflects Fishbone‘s own journey through the industry from early success and label backing to navigating debt, rights reclamation, and the modern challenges of streaming and survival as independent artists.

This song is about reclaiming the artist’s master recordings and publishing back through pre-emptive legal strike. It tells the story of how an artist can attain the rights to their own music after signing over to what seemed to be a contract perpetuity and no return. We have all heard this story of grift and gaming …the road to the top is filled with shattered dreams, bad breaks, and setbacks…Dog Eat Dog is the fight of an artist to reclaim their legacy.”
