Biography

The hard-edged and rapid-fire punk rock of Reno, Nevada's Cobra Skulls was born in January 2004. Drummer Chad Cleveland, singer and bassist Devin Peralta, and guitarist Charlie Parker had met a few years prior while they were students at the University of Nevada, and in time, they banded together around a shared love of groups like 7 Seconds, NOFX and Bad Religion. The Eat Your Babies demo arrived first before the guys split a seven-inch in 2006 with local crew Beercan! on Humaniterrorist Records. That same year, the band also issued an EP entitled Draw Muhammad, and that record, coupled with frequent gigs around town, had Cobra Skulls starting to turn a few heads in local dives. Ultimately, they caught the ear of Red Scare Industries, who signed them up in early 2007 and by mid-year issued their debut full-length, Sitting Army, which proved to be an aggressive and incisive display of punk fervor that mixed the sounds of Against Me! and the Living End with the Clash and TSOL. Second guitarist Adam Beck was added during subsequent supporting tour dates, including shows with bands like the Loved Ones and the aforementioned Against Me!. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide

History

Cobra Skulls were formed in Reno, NV in 2005 by Devin Peralta (bass, vocals), Charlie Parker (guitar) and Chad Cleveland (drums). They released an EP titled Draw Muhammad in 2006. The EP caught the attention of Red Scare Industries who signed the band and released their debut album Sitting Army in 2007. They released a 7" titled Never Be a Machine in 2008.

To promote the album the band went on tour with Against Me!, Mad Caddies, and The Loved Ones, opening shows for them.[1] During the 2007 tour the band added a second guitarist Adam Beck.

On August 20, 2008, the band announced they had parted ways with guitarist Charlie Parker.[2]

Their second album American Rubicon was released in 2009. Leading up to its release the band participated in the Old Skars and Upstarts Tour with Anti-Nowhere League and Duane Peters.[3] Followed by a west coast tour opening for The Lawrence Arms and Teenage Bottlerocket.[4]

Music style

Devin Peralta is half Argentinian and sings some songs in Spanish as can be heard with the tracks "¡Hasta Los Cobra Skulls Siempre!" (from Draw Muhammad EP) and "Use Your Cobra Skulls" (from Sitting Army LP). While the first track is sung completely in Spanish, the latter track mixes both English and Spanish (not to be confused with Spanglish). "Thicker Than Water" (from American Rubicon LP) also contains lyrics in Spanish.
