I’m listening to a track called ‘Fires’ by Band of Skulls and it’s a fresh soundmix of that clean | dirty | clean thang. The sound and the video are impeccable in fact. I like that there’s more spaces – even the dirty parts are minimalistic. Also, the video is crisp and it’s shot from the perspective of ‘the thing itself‘, which is rare for ‘official’ band videos, because it is the most difficult style of photography to do, without the end result being simply boring.

“I listen to it at least once a week,” she says. “It kicks ass.”

The three members of Band of Skulls, Russell Marsden (guitar & vocals), Emma Richardson (bass & vocals) & Matt Hayward (drums), 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.
