[CellarGhosts]

Sitting Army is a fun time.

[shit stroll]

[versus_god]

Oh yeah.

[CellarGhosts]

WHEN I WALK THE STREETS OF CAIROOOOO!...

[MovieQuotes]

I empathize as i go!!

[CellarGhosts]

haha, love that song.

that one, "Faith Is a Cobra", "Anybody Scene My Cobra?" and "I'll Always Be A Cobra Skull" are probably my favorites on there.

[MovieQuotes]

I love Cobra Skullifornia bc it sounds like the Dead Kennedys
Also gotta love use your cobra skulls and charming the cobra...all the songs on that album kick ass...I saw them with WIFS Against ME! and Sage Francis

[versus_god]

They did a sped up version of Cobracoustic last time I saw 'em and it was Cobratastic.

They also played a new song, which hopefully means there's a new album on the way. Fingers crossed.

Haha, sounds awesome.

That would be pretty cool.

Yeah, it does sound kinda like DK.

Ah, neat-o. Cobra Skulls with World Inferno, Against Me! and Sage Francis, sounds like a rad time.

[big mondo]

saw cobra skulls with fake problems here in april

good times

[versus_god]

Cobra And The Manwhore sounds much more Dead Kennedys-esque than Cobra Skullifornia, at least lyric wise. That and Don't Count Your Cobras Before They Hatch.

[shit stroll]

Haha, sounds awesome.

That would be pretty cool.

[CellarGhosts]

it sure sounds like fun. did AM! play alot of older stuff?

[shit stroll]

"the preacher acts like he's afraid of anybody gay, but he loves a man whore in a motel room"

[CellarGhosts]

haha, great line.

[versus_god]

"Never Be A Machine" is up on their myspace (http://www.myspace.com/cobraskulls). Can't wait for the new EP!

[CellarGhosts]

Radical!

[versus_god]

The new 7-inch totally rules. "Cobralectric", two thumbs up.

[Regards]

Never listened to the band, but what a sweet band name.

[big mondo]

i didn't have money for the ep when they came through

good thing i booked them to play a show in my town in two weeks

:-d

[versus_god]

they're playing here with Fake Problems in a couple of weeks, heyooo!

[big mondo]

thats the show i booked!

i've known about that tour since about the beginning of july

look mexico and frank turner are on it as well

[versus_god]

I just found out and am totally stoked. Totally. I don't know why the Cobra Skulls guys don't play here more often.

[big mondo]

i have no idea, it seems they hit up my area more than yours

[RedScare]

Old thread, but they gotta new song up:

http://www.myspace.com/cobraskulls

[versus_god]

rad rad rad

rad

[Justin_stacy]

man the new song is good.

[SwiftSilentDead]

I'm kind of new to this band but I really dig what I've heard. Will be looking for an album.

[Machu505]

Why was I not aware that they have a new album coming out next month?

[TachyonEvan]

Okay, I really need to check this band out now.

[TachyonEvan]

Their Bob Dylan cover is legit.

[SanePsychotic]

I've only heard their Never Be A Machine 7" and I've enjoyed that. Solid band.

[heyzombiehitler]

These dudes are quick.

[TachyonEvan]

Their song titles are amusing.

[Machu505]

My favourite of em? "The Cobra and the Man-Whore".

:-d

[TachyonEvan]

Mine's definitely "¡Hasta Los Cobra Skulls Siempre!"

[Justin_stacy]

New album's streaming @ punknews (http://www.punknews.org/bands/cobraskulls).

[McIrish]

When i get some money im going to buy this

[versus_god]

17 songs and no Cobra titles? I'm not listening to this trash.

[Machu505]

Six songs into American Rubicon and this is just okay.

[Genuma]

I haven't started listening yet.

[Machu505]

After one listen, I can safely say that this is not better than Sitting Army. There are a few highlights ("H.D.U.I.", "Back to the Youth", "One Day I'll Never"), but other than that, it doesn't really do anything for me.

I think it's the lack of Cobras in the song titles.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

No Cobras in the song titles. What a dissapointment.

About to put this on.

[AP_Punk]

second best album of 2009 with "rubicon" in its title, next to The Sounds' new release!

I love The Sounds new album, I think it's really good. Haven't listened to the new Cobra Skulls yet, I liked Sitting Army a lot so hopefully this will be a solid follow up.

[Dr. Acula]

Saw them open for Against Me! and The World/Inferno Friendship Society. Not bad.

[TachyonEvan]

I went and found this thread because I recently fell in love with Sitting Army.

[A Regular]

There are some gems on the new album, overall a snoozer though.

Pre-order the new E.P. at Fat Wreck! (http://www.fatwreck.com/record/detail/764) Colored vinyl is already sold out. But their cover of "Give You Nothing" is on it. Now, if only we could hear that OWTH cover of "Sorrow."

[prefix-core]

Track-by-track breakdown of the new E.P. on AltPress! (http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/track_by_track_cobra_skulls/)

[AP_Punk]

the message in "doomsday parade" is one helluva way to start the record :-d

bummer i missed out on the colored vinyl copy of this at Fat. oh well. will still grab a regular copy down the road. i wanna hear this EP! especially after reading that piece.

[versus_god]

The new EP rips, packs way more of punch than most of American Rubicon did.

Ditto. That vinyl went quickly! I'll be snagging the less special version. Haha.

Good to hear! These guys have great songwriting chops--but their live set always leaves a bit to be desired in terms of energy. Maybe they'll be picking it up! Y'know, like a ska ba--ugh. I hate myself.

[shit stroll]

This song is a true story about my friend and co-worker who was abducted from his home near Fresno, California, by an American terrorist organization called U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

[AP_Punk]

hahah. i loved that part.

Rad times! I'm glad that AP does this--it always lends itself to some interesting reading. Okay, maybe not always, but in cases like this one. Haha. Have you had a chance to sift through the album yet? With lyrics?

I've not been able to do it in full but I listened to a few samples on iTunes and was duly impressed! These guys keep crafting their songs better and better. Or maybe there were just some impressive 90 second clips! :-p

totally worth the track by track feature on a band like cobra skulls!(much more informative than this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeGGbYQ6ayg), lol)

and with 90 second clips, you heard a gooood chunk of the music! haha. it's good stuff. i like it. i kinda regret passing on the colored vinyl option at fat when that went up,but oh well. will grab a regular copy later. anyway, it's totally worth checking out!

Now I brag: I'm waiting for my copy in the mail haha. I won the front page contest they had about a week back, so I'm holding off until I get my package in the mail. Haha. Really, though, I was just going to ask you about a lyric because I can't find it on-line anywhere and it sounds like there's a reference to the Bosstones in track #3! At least uh, vocally anyway. I might be mishearing the word, hah. I feel silly when the happens...

Also: Have you seen the boys live before? I wish I liked them better live than I do. Not the most engaging band on the planet. :-/
