Band of Skulls has been one of my top five favorite bands since their debut, Baby Darling Doll Face Honey discussed here, and they are also in my top three of bands to see live (discussed here). So you can imagine that I have been awaiting their sophomore album with great anticipation. Sophomore albums being what they are, however, I have tried to keep my expectations in check. (more…)

There are times, just a few as a rule, where a great band gets slated to play in a venue where it really has no business playing.

Band of Skulls
Band of Skulls is a new 3-piece british band that has recently released its debut album, Baby Darling Doll Face Honey. You can listen to the whole album on their website. This band is getting a lot of attention right out of the gate and for good reason. Bassist/vocalist Emma Richardson looks and sounds like a young Chrissy Hynde (but hotter). Guitarist/vocalist Russell Marsden sounds like a cross between Caleb Followill and Jack White (but hotter). Drummer Matt Hayward is intense without being overwhelming (but he’s not quite so hot). This is definitely a new band you will want to check out and will keep listening to for a long time to come. They are going to be huge (remember, you heard it here first).
