Skull Kontrol

In 1997, Chris Thomson (Monorchid, Circus Lupus, Ignition), Kim Thompson Delta 72, and Brooks Headley (Born Against, Universal Order of Armageddon) formed Skull Kontrol. Initially they were a three-piece until the official demise of the Monorchid, at which point their guitarist, Andy Coronado, was added to the line-up. Their debut EP for Touch and Go, Deviate Beyond All Means of Capture, encouraged listeners to think before they act and/or consume. Chris’s lyrical gymnastics blended well with Andy’s D.C- esque punk guitar throughout all seventeen minutes of the recording. The release of their subsequent EP in 2000 was celebrated with the band breaking up, making ZZZZZZ a posthumous release. Brooks and Chris went on to form Wrangler Brutes and Red Eyed Legends, respectively.
