Acclaimed U.K. rockers Band of Skulls is touring in celebration of their 10-year anniversary of their debut album Baby Darling Doll Face Honey … which will be re-released as a limited vinyl and book on September 27th. The deluxe package will also include a 10” transparent red vinyl of b-sides and bonus tracks.
We last saw the group in Sep 2016 and said, “The last time we caught Band of Skulls (at First Avenue in June 2014), we compared them to Muse, particularly for their newer songs like ‘Hoochie Coochie’.
With their new album By Default (BMG), they’ve doubled down on that stadium rock sound, but also producing some of the catchiest music hooks and rhythm and some dance elements.”
Demob Happy to open.
