I read a cool piece at The Rock and Roll Report today about British rockers Band of Skulls. Here's one of their tracks below, a crunchy White-Stripes-meets-Gary-Glitter stomper called 'I Know What I Am'. I love the gender traded vocals. Shame about the "hotel...Taco Bell" rhyme, though. :-)Band of Skulls - I Know What I AmThe band's debut CD is 'baby darling doll face honey' After their current...
So last week I was at the Dead Weather show and I think that switched something in my brain to search out some more rock n roll type bands. Enter Band of Skulls. I had seen the name thrown around the blogs but never really took the time to listen. Big Mistake! I know I can't catch every amazing piece of music that comes out but I try to at least take a listen to most of it. Band of Skulls take...

I have been gone for quite some time; this I am aware of. And I'm back for a variety of reasons but primarily because I wasn't discovering new music like I had been back in the glory days of MOG. I used to have a new music love every week or so and I missed that. However, I haven't been completely under a rock and there have been some blips on my musical radar in the past year.So....today I w...
English power trio Band of Skulls released their first album and you better believe people are taking notice. Riff heavy, bluesy bass, drum fills like you mean business.
I'll be the first to admit that I was more than a little embarrassed about telling fellow music snobs that I was going to see Juliette Lewis at the Opera House last week. The credibility factor of an artist decreases significantly amongst the musical elitist community when said artist is in the much maligned and mocked 'actor turned rock star' category. That is, of course, unless the artist's f...
