Band of Skulls Biography
Band of Skulls are an English alternative rock band from Southampton, consisting of Russell Marsden (guitar, vocals), Emma Richardson (bass, vocals) and Matt Hayward (drums). The group formed after meeting in college, although Marsden and Hayward have been friends since school.
Initially, the group played at night clubs in the Greater London area and recorded some demos under the name of Fleeing New York before changing their name to Band of Skulls in November 2008. The band's original demos were recorded in their father's shed-studio.
Band of Skulls debut album was Baby Darling Doll Face Honey, distributed by Shangri-La Music. The track "I Know What I Am" was chosen as iTunes' free Single of the Week to coincide with the digital release. The song was also featured in the soundtrack for TV series "Friday Night Lights, Volume 2." The song also appeared in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. Another track that was not actually on the album, "Friends," was included on "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" soundtrack in November 2009.
Band of Skulls played at the SXSW Festival in early 2010 and toured the Midwest in March in support of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. The band appeared on the French TV show Taratata broadcast in March 2010, where they covered the song "Sympathy for the Devil" by The Rolling Stones with the band John & Jehn. In April 2010, they toured the U.S. and Canada followed by England in May 2010, including a sold-out show at the London Electric Ballroom. They were one of three bands who opened for Muse at Lancashire County Cricket Ground.
In 2011, the band released "The Devil Takes Care of His Own," the first single to be taken from the new album, with an accompanying music video. The second studio album Sweet Sour was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales.
