Voodoo Glow Skulls – Firme

Voodoo Glow Skulls are an American ska punk band formed in 1988 in Riverside, California, by brothers Frank, Eddie, and Jorge Casillas and their longtime friend Jerry O'Neill. Voodoo Glow Skulls first played at backyard parties and later started playing shows with the Angry Samoans, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Firehose, Murphy's Law, and The Dickies. Voodoo Glow Skulls' 1995 Firme has been one of the high points in popularity for the seven-member ska-punk outfit. Unlike some more laid-back performers in the genre, Voodoo Glow Skulls are a bit more heavy-handed on the punk part of the mix, resulting in consistently fast-paced and chugging song structures that occasionally erupt into triumphant horn breakdowns and chanted group vocals. The album also includes Fat Randy, one of the group's more convincing ska-punk hybrids Firme is available as limited numbered edition of 400 copies on yellow coloured vinyl and includes an insert.
