Band Of Skulls playing the London Roundhouse (Antonio Coppola for Live4ever)
Band Of Skulls are ready to release their fifth studio album next year.
The band confirmed the news whilst detailing some UK gigs for November which will take place at the London Scala and Manchester Gorilla. The new album will be Band Of Skulls’ first since 2016’s By Default, on which Live4ever found that ‘underneath the skeleton they’re still riddled in heavy rock bromides:
“For their fourth album, ‘By Default‘, an ambitious if not exhaustive sounding 100 songs or so were written inside a couple of hired churches. So Good stands hipshot and shoulders above what the band have sounded like before. Its flaunting chorus adept to pivot mosh pit-anger into disco swagger.”
“The boogie-bility extends to ‘Bodies‘, a track that gurgles on toe-taps and bell chimes, and ‘Back Of Beyond‘s rush of snappy adrenaline is fit for one of those teen-has-preposterous-adventure 80s films starring now-obsolete actors.”
“Pushing their rock credential boundaries to the absolute limit is ‘Tropical Disease‘, a track that runs as shifty as a sniggering Dick Dastardly.”
