The Nuckle Brothers were a third wave ska band from Huntington Beach that was part of the early 1990s Orange County, California music scene, inspiring such bands as Reel Big Fish, Save Ferris and The Aquabats. Playing their first show in March 1992 at the Ocean View High School Battle of the Bands, The Nuckle Brothers quickly built up a local following. They were best known for their high energy, sloppy and unpredictable stage shows.
