Band of Skulls

The Band of Skulls are hitting NXNE this weekend in Toronto and I can’t wait! Reminiscent of the White Stripes with heavy guitars and drums, their sound is pure rock and roll… Reigning from SouthHampton UK, this three piece band was picked up and pushed heavily by iTunes in early April with their debut album “Baby Darling Doll Face Honey” (which was also recently released on cd) You can join in on the listening party for free at their website here: http://www.bandofskulls.com/listen/

Love it, don’t you? Such a strong influence of 70s, mixed with 90s garage and alternate rock. From the dreamy, acoustic tracks like “Honest” to the raw rock and back and forth vocal battles of singers Emma and Russell in their single “I Know What I Am”. This cd just leaves me more than satisfied.

I Know What I Am


Also cool to note that singer Emma Richardson is not only a talented musician, but an artist as well and pulled pieces from her exhibit “Meat Me at the Butchers” to use as their cover art .
