Cobra Skulls guitarist Charlie Parker has announced his departure from the Red Scare punk act:

Over the past three years I have had an unbelievable time playing with Cobra Skulls but unfortunately it has come to an end. I have decided to pursue other interests in life and will no longer be rocking with the Cobras.

I would like to thank all the people who supported us, came to our shows, let us stay at their house, bands we played with and everyone else who made this experience so much fun. I wish you guys the best of luck and know your next tour is going to be awesome. A special thanks to Toby for his support and belief in Cobra Skulls. I'll miss all of you.

The band released Never Be a Machine [7 inch] this year.
