Just wanted to give a heads up on this cool band I just discovered. They’re a UK band called Band of Skulls, and have recently released their first album, Baby Darling Doll Face Honey. The band is a trio, consisting of drummer Matthew Hayward, guitarist and singer Russell Marsden, and bassist and singer Emma Richardson.

As most of you know, I am a huge White Stripes fan, and Band of Skulls kind of sound like the Stripes, but with a fuller sound, since they are a trio. Furthermore, Russell sounds like Jack White’s brother. I really like that they have both a male and a female singer, it adds an extra dimension to their sound. My favorite songs so far are first single I Know What I Am and the brilliantly titled Death By Diamonds and Pearls. Now, if they would only make their way over to Sweden so I’d get a chance to see them live. Judging by this live performance, they seem to be a great live band:
