Rad Skulls is a fast melodic punk band based between Madison, Wisconsin and Rockford, Illinois. The five members have spent years playing in other bands—writing and recording records, playing clubs and DIY spaces, and touring throughout the Midwest and beyond. Rad Skulls brings that experience together into something direct and focused.
Their sound pulls from the urgency and melody of Lifetime and the early, emotionally charged records by Saves The Day —fast songs built around strong hooks, driving rhythms, and lyrics that feel lived-in rather than nostalgic.
Formed in 2023, the group includes Andy and Matt, previously of Fortune and Glory, alongside Pat, known for his work with Latterman and Bridge and Tunnel. The line-up also includes vocalist Bryce, who also performs with the band Collapse Create, and Chicago-area bassist Sean.
Rad Skulls isn’t a side project or a throwback. It’s five musicians with a long history in punk starting something new with intention—leaning into speed, melody, and the kind of song-writing that holds up in a basement show or a bigger room. Rad Skulls – See you in hell, poser
