There’s this guy named Skull, right? That’s what everyone calls him. He played drums in hardcore bands like Black My Heart and Criminal Instinct, but more important than that, he’s a true larger-than-life character. He’s one of these garrulous, charismatic, slightly scary guys that you sometimes meet if you go to enough underground shows. (I haven’t met Skull, but that was my impression when he was on the Forum Of Passion podcast a few years ago.) In 2020, Skull started what seemed like a one-off solo project called Skinhead, and he released Fuck Fake Skins, a demo full of songs about being up fake skinheads. It was way better than anyone could’ve anticipated, and now Skinhead is a band two full-length albums.
