Voodoo Glow Skulls somehow survived beyond ska-punk’s salad days in the mid-’90s, and, unsurprisingly to those who hold the band’s horn-centric punk riots close to their hearts, they’re still good. Listening is like busting open a time capsule, but when the chips are down, the Riverside crew—led by the Casillas brothers, Frank, Eddie, and Jorge—still bring some of the sharpest, most diverse music to have emerged from SoCal’s Punk-O-Rama era. 1995’s Firme was their first album on the pioneering punk juggernaut Epitaph Records, and included staples like “Shoot the Moon,” which appeared in the movie Bio-Dome, and the bizarre ska-punk-freak track “El Coo Cooi.” During the band’s heyday, deft stylistic transitions and bilingual lyrics separated Voodoo Glow Skulls from their contemporaries. But things are slowing down after nearly 30 years; they surfaced most recently with their 2012 self-recorded LP Break the Spell. RYAN J. PRADO
