By Default

Band of Skulls

High-gloss garage rock with interlocking male-female vocals and massive, church-reverb riffs. A polished, punchy evolution of their gritty blues roots.

May 27, 2016 · Liberator Music

A high-octane blend of swagger and atmospheric tension that feels both massive and meticulously controlled.
