Voodoo Glow Skulls
Formed in 1988 by brothers Frank, Eddy, and Jorge Casillas and drummer Jerry O’Neill, Voodoo Glow Skulls whip up a potent mix of third-wave ska and hardcore punk. While their fellow ska survivors have dabbled in things like synthesizers in a desperate effort to stay relevant (looking at you, Less Than Jake), 2007’s Southern California Street Music wisely doesn’t mess with the formula. The band’s new record, Break The Spell, is chock-full of its signature metal-tinged ragers, bleating brass notes, and references to Mexican-American culture, like a cut named “My Girlfriend Is A Chola” after the tough, lip-lined girls so popular in Southern California.
