Band of Skulls appeared on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” last night to perform their single “ Bodies ” as well as “ Killer .” The band continues to celebrate the release of their latest album By Default , out now on BMG. The official video for “Bodies” can be streamed/shared here: https://BoS.lnk.to/BodiesVevo.
By Default is receiving widespread critical acclaim both stateside and abroad: “Band of Skulls rip and roar, the song a wily mix of clashing guitars, vocals that both rocket high and dip low, and a fierce chorus that is the sonic equivalent of being stared down by some imposing authority. Think a savage hybrid of Modest Mouseand Jack White.”—Consequence of Sound “…each song packs a punch…they've always had a certain swagger in their music but here you can really feel an authority and confidence…”—The Independent
“I hear a new attitude behind it…shows them sharpening their sound.”—KCRW “A crisp return.”—Clash
“Band of Skulls have delivered a gorgeous album, a beautiful combination of blues, indie and rock…By Default is, start to finish, a no lose situation.”—MXDWN To further support the release, Band of Skulls has confirmed North American dates this fall. The tour will kick off September 6 at Boston’s Royale and will make stops at Chicago’s Metro, San Francisco’s The Fillmore, Los Angeles’ Wiltern and New York City’s Terminal 5 among many others. Produced by Gil Norton (Pixies, Foo Fighters, Patti Smith) and recorded at Rockfield Studios, By Default finds the band—Emma Richardson (bass, vocals), Russell Marsden (guitar, vocals) and Matt Hayward (drums)—following up on their acclaimed 2014 release, Himalayan, by making a conscious decision to take a step back from their relentless world-wide touring schedule, having never spent more than a month off the road in the last two years. “We went back to square one,” says Hayward. In the church—between visits from the vicar, bringing tea and biscuits on his trolley—they found the new songs in hours of woodshedding on ratty old practice amps. “It’s definitely a new era,” says Marsden. “The first three records were like a trilogy, a piece of work in of themselves. We wanted to do those things, and we did them all. We took a breath, took a look at what we’d done, and started from scratch again.” [image error] BAND OF SKULLS LIVESeptember 6—Boston, MA—RoyaleSeptember 7—Montreal, QC—Corona TheatreSeptember 8—Toronto, ON—The Opera HouseSeptember 9—Columbus, OH—Skully’s Music DinerSeptember 10—Chicago, IL—MetroSeptember 11—Minneapolis, MN—Fine Line Music CaféSeptember 13—Denver, CO—Gothic TheatreSeptember 14—Salt Lake City, UT—Urban LoungeSeptember 15-18—Victoria, BC—RifflandiaSeptember 16—Vancouver, BC—The Vogue TheatreSeptember 18—Seattle, WA—The ShowboxSeptember 19—Portland, OR—Revolution HallSeptember 21—San Francisco, CA—FillmoreSeptember 23—Los Angeles, CA—WilternSeptember 23-25—Las Vegas, NV—Life is BeautifulSeptember 24—Solana Beach, CA—Belly UpSeptember 26—Tucson, AZ—Rialto TheatreSeptember 28—Austin, TX—Antone’sSeptember 29—Dallas, TX—TreesSeptember 30—Memphis, TN—Minglewood HallOctober 1—Nashville, TN—Exit/InOctober 2—Atlanta, GA—Terminal WestOctober 3—Durham, NC—Motorco Music HallOctober 4—Washington DC—Black CatOctober 6—New York, NY—Terminal 5October 7—Philadelphia, PA—Union Transfer By Default Available Now:iTunes: http://smarturl.it/ByDefaultITAmazon CD: http://smarturl.it/ByDefaultCDAmazon Vinyl: http://smarturl.it/ByDefaultLP http://www.bandofskulls.com/
