Southampton's Band Of Skulls are a band on the cusp of something special. Their debut album, Baby Darling Doll Face Honey , nicely egged on by a couple of impact single releases, took them to some exciting places, and this latest long-player is already receiving some high-profile attention. Radio 1 has been blasting out the promo singles on a regular basis and, tuning in, it's pretty easy to see why. A quick glance at bassist/vocalist Emma Richardson's Rorschashian inkblot artwork, this time around, is your first indication that Sweet Sour is going to rock [...]
There are audiences that will enjoy Sweet Sour as a simple hard rock album, but most will find it lacking in creativity and hooks. If you're a band creating a bluesy, garage rock sound, then you should be prepared for the comparisons to Jack White and White Stripes. Of course, it wasn't surprising then that the first album by Band of Skulls brought plenty of these comparisons -- from the heavy riffs to guitar tone, Band of Skulls tried to emulate the swagger of the White Stripes. Although more work needed to be done, the potential was [...]
Band of Skulls - Sweet Sour (Electric Blues) O segundo trabalho do Band of Skulls não tem a mesma crueza ou urgência do debut, Baby Darling Doll Face Honey , lançado de forma independente, em 2009, e que abriu as portas para a banda tocar em grandes festivais, ter diversas participações em trilhas sonoras - a mais conhecida é a de New Moon - e abrir pra grupos renomados como o The Dead Wheather , o que reforçou as comparações do grupo com a primeira banda [...]
Although Tennis claims the release date is a coincidence, Valentines Day is perfect for the release of Young & Old , the Denver band's second album. If you don't know the story: the espoused Patrick Riley and Aliana Moore spent a romantic half-year sailing along the East Coast, during which they composed songs that would become their debut, Cape Dory . Produced in part with The Black Keys' Patrick Carney, the new album finds the duo evolved into a band, with drummer James Barone now a full member. You can read an exclusive interview with the [...]
So happy hearts day! Those are red bell peppers up there but it's the closest thing I had to hearts... aside from all the hearts I have collected in my basement. But no sense in broadcasting that to the world. Amos Lee: As the Crow Flies Band of Skulls: Sweet Sour Barry Adamson: I Will Set You Free Bears: Greater Lakes Detroit Cobras: Mink Rat or Rabbit [...]
I remember the first time I heard the song "Little Black Submarines" from the Black Keys ' most recent release El Camino. The tune immediately inspired visions of Zoso and Jimmy Page dancing in my head. One can probably imagine the effect hearing the song live had on me then – guitarist Dan Auerbach focused under a single light for the soft beginning before ripping on his guitar strings for the powerful end. But, overall, the most amazing part about this concert, the last one on their European tour, was not that one song but the extended [...]
![[Album Review] Band Of Skulls- Sweet Sour](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4060486_lg.jpg)
On their latest release, Sweet And Sour , Band Of Skulls has found a precarious balance between their already established sound and a mature new direction. While the CD is full of heavy juggernauts, the band accents these harsh points with a new softer side that mixes both psychedelic and alternative grooves. The new twist on Band of Skulls beloved sound provides an intricate framework for the CD to work around, moving in waves under the band's beautiful male and female vocal harmonies while they alternate through musical dynamics. Part of the [...]

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! You'd think this would mean that there would be a bunch of romantic releases coming out this week, right? Eh, not so much, but that doesn't mean there are some great records in stores this Tuesday! This is clearly a week for independent labels. We've pictured Busdriver 's Beaus$Eros ; the album has been out digitally for a while but comes out in physical form this week. There are also new records from Lucky Dragons , Young Magic , and Band of Skulls . Doe Paoro also makes a [...]
It's an upsetting thought anytime I say or think it, but we're living in a post-White Stripes world. It's either a testament to Jack and Meg White's unique vision that no-one has really stepped up and taken over from them, or it's a sad eye-opener into the state of affairs of the garage rock that characterised the beginning of the 21st Century. Sure, there's The Black Keys, but recently they've been leaving the rawness behind and embraced soul and, dare I say it, pop. So, avid readers, may I direct you towards Band Of Skulls. Their 2009 debut, [...]

The BAND OF SKULLS are on the promo runs this week in honour of their freshly leaked long_one. Yesterday the Southampton alt-rockers took to the Live Lounge to perform their latest mp3 and brilliantly cover the EXAMPLE's CHANGED THE WAY YOU KISSED ME mp3.
![[Listen] Band of Skulls - "Changed The Way You Kissed Me" (Example Cover) in Radio One's Live Lounge](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4048819_lg.jpg)
Yesterday in Radio One's Live Lounge the UK's very own Band of Skulls took a break from supporting Black Keys to perform their own track along with a mystery cover, and the cover was a little bit of a surprise. Well, it is the live lounge after all! The Southampton band put in a cover of Example 's "Changed The Way You Kissed Me" and the results are surprisingly great. See what you make of the cover along with a performance of their current single "Bruises". "CTWYKM" [...]
From the first bars of 'Sweet Sour', I know I am listening to a Band of Skulls record. The drum beat is almost deafening and you can smell the influence of the White Stripes in the first beat! Band of Skulls broke onto the scene with their debut album 'Baby Darling Doll Face Honey.' With single 'I Know What I Am' leading the charge on the album, it gained huge critical praise, no doubt with drums that would make even John Bonham think, "ooh, that's loud". Their brand of garage-blues rock [...]
