Fishbone is the recording debut of alternative group Fishbone. This six-song EP was released in 1985 and captures the band at the height of their early funk/ska era. The track "Party at Ground Zero" remains one of the band's most popular tracks.[citation needed]

The track "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F." is believed to stand for "Voyage to the Land of the Freeze-Dried Godzilla Farts" and is about a government attempt to convince the public that Hiroshima was actually caused by Godzilla farting.[citation needed]
