  • #8 - Norwood Fisher (Fishbone, Trulio Disgracious)

    As co-founder of the heavy-hitting institution Fishbone, John Norwood Fisher is one bad mother funker who has been breaking down barriers and innovating the sound waves of funk, punk, soul, metal, reggae, and ska music since 1979. Fishbone’s seven full-length albums and slew of live records and EPs have steered the course of alternative music for over three decades, and a lot of that can be attributed to the funky and percussive slapping and finger work that has become Norwood’s trademark. Norwood is also the founder of Trulio Disgracious, he's an avid surfer, snowboarder, and board member of the Watts Conservatory of Music. Live at 5 is an Anchor Eighty Four Media original.

Signing to Los Angeles based label Anchor Eighty Four Records during the winter of 2018, Alone I Walk traveled to Los Angeles shortly after, tapping producer Johnny Liu (In Her Own Words, Slaves, Slowtrip) to help elevate the demos they had written for their label debut in a way that none of them could have imagined. Being a duo, Franky and Pascal played every instrument and sung every line on the new EP themselves bringing and unmatched cohesive sound to each song that only two people truly connected could have achieved.

    Having opened for large acts such as PVRIS, Silverstein, and Rarity in Canada and touring the U.S. multiple times; Alone I Walk released their label debut EP, The Hardest Years Yet, in September 2019.
