New Music: Band of Skulls, Baby Darling Doll Face Honey
Band of Skulls is a new 3-piece british band that has recently released its debut album, Baby Darling Doll Face Honey. You can listen to the whole album on their website. This band is getting a lot of attention right out of the gate and for good reason. Bassist/vocalist Emma Richardson looks and sounds like a young Chrissy Hynde (but hotter). Guitarist/vocalist Russell Marsden sounds like a cross between Caleb Followill and Jack White (but hotter). Drummer Matt Hayward is intense without being overwhelming (but he’s not quite so hot). This is definitely a new band you will want to check out and will keep listening to for a long time to come. They are going to be huge (remember, you heard it here first).

As a first listen, try “Cold Fame.” It reminds me of something from the 60s, mixed with “Cold Desert.”
Good stuff.
I’ll listen, since I usually enjoy your tips (except…hotter than Jack? psh.), but they already have one point against just for the album title…
I like the album title. It’s from the lyric to one of their songs, and it doesn’t appear that it’s intended to be sexist, if that’s your concern.
My second favorite song on this album is “Impossible,” which I think sounds a lot like U2.
Oh, wow. Sexist never even entered my mind! I just thought it was dumb…
I think it’s funny.
It reminds me of other great album titles, like Blood Sugar Sex Magic or A Mark a Mission a Brand a Scar.
Are you kidding? The drummer’s the hottest one!
Finally getting around to listen to this—they are good.
Seagull, if you are female then I defer to your superior skillz of hotness assessment. If not, then I’m still right.
Susan, glad you like them. I was curious about your opinion.
