Once again, music blog colorama turned us onto a new band that we’ve taken a liken to. They’re called Band of Skulls and you’ve gotta check them out. Our favorite part: they’re from the UK but sound like an American rock band.

The three members of Band of Skulls 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 afield in Moscow and Tokyo.

The band, previously known as Fleeing New York, were working on new demo’s in late November 2008 at Courtyard Studios in Oxfordshire when their paths crossed with an international collective based in London, Montreal and LA who are now, in a very modern way, partners with the band.

Soon followed more studio time, which formed the basis of their debut album, Baby Darling Doll Face Honey. With a working relationship sealed with a handshake the album was recorded, mixed and mastered from January through to March 09 before contracts had time to be signed.

Read more on the band’s site, where you’ll find images, tour dates, a few songs to check out. Make sure to check them out on MySpace, where you can listen to more songs, including our current favorite I Know What I Am. Don’t forget to check them out on YouTube.
