Cobra Skulls were an American punk rock band originally from Reno, Nevada, United States, but later based in the San Francisco Bay Area. During their time together they released three studio albums, five EPs, and three 7" splits.

Cobra Skulls were formed in Reno, Nevada in 2005 by Devin Peralta (bass, vocals), Charlie Parker (guitar) and Chad Cleveland (drums). They released an EP titled Draw Muhammad in 2006. The EP caught the attention of Red Scare Industries who signed the band and released their debut album Sitting Army in 2007. They released a 7" titled Never Be a Machine in 2008.

To promote the album the band went on tour with Against Me!, Mad Caddies, and The Loved Ones, opening shows for them. During the 2007 tour the band added a second guitarist Bobcat.

On August 20, 2008, the band announced they had parted ways with guitarist Charlie Parker.

Their second album American Rubicon was released in 2009. Leading up to its release the band participated in the Old Skars and Upstarts Tour with Anti-Nowhere League and Duane Peters. Followed by a west coast tour opening for The Lawrence Arms and Teenage Bottlerocket.

The band signed with Fat Wreck Chords in March 2010. Around this time Chad Cleveland left the band and was replaced by drummer Luke Swarm.

On August 3, 2010, the band announced on their MySpace blog page that they were recording a new five-song EP with Fat Mike This would be released as 2011's Bringing The War Home. One of the songs from the EP, a cover of "Give you Nothing" by Bad Religion, was also featured on the 2010 Bad Religion tribute album Germs Of Perfection.
