“You'd be forgiven for thinking that Band of Skulls was from Detroit. Headed by Emma Richardson's smoky croon and Russell Marsden's brash howl, the band — actually a British trio — channel a bluesy, lo-fi rock sound that recalls the Dead Weather, the Kills, and Motor City's stable of garage rockers. But the band's grit also makes way for occasional beautiful harmonies, delicate melodies, and a nuanced songwriting style that hints at Franz Ferdinand and the Raveonettes.”
Connie Hwong, Flavorpill
The three members of Band of Skulls, Russell Marsden (guitar & vocals), Emma Richardson (bass & vocals) & Matt Hayward (drums), first met at college and quickly discovered that having two lead singers and three songwriters in a band was always going to present unlimited possibilities. With their creative process and sonic path fully intact the band quickly established themselves in the music and art community with a series of culturally inspired club nights in Southampton, London and further a field in Moscow and Tokyo.
