You probably know this much already: Teenage Bottlerocket (or simply “TBR” to their fans) is currently one of the hottest bands in punk rock and their new record, They Came From The Shadows, is highly-anticipated. But before we go any further you should probably know that they’re from Wyoming. Crazy, huh? Although more famous for its frontier forts and characters like Butch Cassidy, the “Front Range” (as it’s known to the locals) may very well be the unlikely home to the next great punk rock band. At least that’s what the kids are sayin’. But don’t take our word for it, even Alternative Press featured them as a “Band You Need To Know in 2009”… and they don’t even have those Jennifer Aniston haircuts!

Cobra Skuuuuuuuuuulls! They’re back like a bunch of filthy, similarly-dressed super heroes. Okay, let’s cut to the chase: You heard the name before but you don’t know the finer points of what the band is about, right? That’s where I come in. Devin, the singer, bass player is a six -foot-six, 118 lb. Argentinian freakshow of a man. He’s also a bit of a rabble rouser. He’s often mustachioed, not because of the sweet irony, but because that’s how they do it down there. He’s joined by Luke on the drums, who resembles Masters of the Universe’s Beast Man, and Adam, who (and I'm not even joking) honed his chops as a wedding singer and live Karaoke comptroller before he made the decision to make all the brides-to-be from his hometown cry and hit the road ten months a year. That means he can play “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “Cry Me a River” on command. Beat that, assholes! Wait, there’s more!
The Cobra Skulls are from Reno, so lest you think this frustration with the modern world is prefabricated, let me assure you, it was homegrown in an artificial desert hellscape where flowers bloom in sand and hookers take you out to 29-cent breakfasts after breaking decomposing teeth off on your ballsack. I mean, on their new record there’s a song lamenting the loss of our free access to everything and anything in this world. “And water is next…” Devin ominously forewarns. Hey, like I said, Reno. They’re fucking crazy out there, but that’s rule number one of great art, man: Crazy is compelling. They didn’t teach you that in journalism school, did they? Didn’t think so.
What else, they’re on tour like crazy, they, themselves are crazy, uh…mentioned the mustache, mentioned Justin Timberlake…uh, OH! Yeah, Alternative Press named Cobra Skulls a “Band To Watch”, and none of these dudes even have that Jen Anniston haircut thing that is so big in that magazine, so this is a recommendation based on actual chops, innovation, and real, honest-to-god skull fucking ass kickery. Trust me, man. There’s no media-savvy corporate machine behind these guys. I mean, have you read their bio?
