Cobra Skulls

***Defining COBRA SKULLS is dichotomously quite simple and extremely difficult. The simple approach would be to dub them one of the most genuine and meaningful punk bands of the past ten years. The complex route would be to take into account the fact that they have drawn comparisons to the likes of Against Me!, The Clash, the Misfits, Chuck Berry, and One Man Army, and iterate the notion that COBRA SKULLS somehow simultaneously encapsulate the diverse sound of each of those artists equally. It's an equation that goes against the very laws of nature, but once you've heard them somehow it all makes sense. Beyond their unique amalgam of musical styling, there is also the highly charged message behind Cobra Skulls music, both of which are on full display on their Fat Wreck debut Bringing the War Home. Their disdain for the modern human condition far surpasses the typical political targets of most punk bands; transcending class, creed, and dogma, nothing is safe from their scope. All five songs that comprise Bringing the War Home exemplify this, delivered on the crest of DEVIN’s soulful vocals, and driven by the band’s contagious invigorating music.
