 BAND OF SKULLS’ NEW ALBUM NOW STREAMING EXCLUSIVELY AT ITUNES
U.K. TRIO PERFORMS ON “LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS”
NORTH AMERICAN TOUR CONFIRMED “Cool enough for hipsters, heavy enough for metal heads, smart enough for muso snobs, Band of Skulls succeed in striking that oft-elusive aural sweet spot for fans of all stripes”—Village Voice 
 “…supremely heavy…”—Rolling Stone
Band of Skulls’ new album,  Himalayan , is now streaming in full exclusively at  iTunes . Out next Tuesday on Electric Blues Recordings via Kobalt Label Services, the album is already receiving widespread critical acclaim—the  Village Voice asserts, “Cool enough for hipsters, heavy enough for metal heads, smart enough for muso snobs, Band of Skulls succeed in striking that oft-elusive aural sweet spot for fans of all stripes,” while  NME  praises, “Like The Black Keys at their meanest, it stomps away before propelling itself into a riff of Black Sabbath standards…”
In celebration of the release, the U.K. trio recently performed their hit single, “Asleep at the Wheel,” on “ Late Night with Seth Meyers .” The song, whose official music video can be viewed/embedded here, is also currently featured in worldwide Netflix campaign. Additionally, a new video for the album track, “Nightmares,” recently premiered at Vevo.
After recently performing sold out shows in L.A. and Brooklyn, the trio will return this spring for extensive North American tour. Of their recent performance at the iTunes Festival at SXSW,  American Songwriter  praised, “the blistering rock nature of these tunes indicating that the group…have pursued an altogether more arena-capable sound.” See below for complete tour itinerary.
Himalayan was produced by Nick Launay (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arcade Fire, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) and was recorded during the summer of 2013 in Richmond, London at State of the Ark studios. It follows 2012’s Sweet Sour, which debuted at #14 on the U.K. album chart and received widespread acclaim—NME praised, “Proficient, precision-executed blues-rock,” while Consequence of Sound praised, “sizzles with muscle-driven, sludgy honest-to-goodness rock.” In the years since, the band has toured alongside Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Keys, The Dead Weather, Queens of the Stone Age and Muse and sold-out two headlining shows at London’s The Roundhouse and Brixton Academy. 
Band of Skulls is Russell Marsden (guitar, vocals), Emma Richardson (bass, vocals) and Matt Hayward (drums).
