Bio: Pancho Villa’s Skull has been going strong in the metro Detroit punk scene since the mid-2010s, playing a unique sound in the area. This duo from Pontiac is comprised of brothers Tino and Rolando Ybarra, who blend traditional mariachi music with punk rock attitudes. Most of their music is all acoustic, giving their live shows a stripped-down and intimate feel. Their lyrics focus on issues of racism, workers’ rights, and protesting.
