Band of Skulls - Himalayan review

Hard rocking three piece return

The third full-length from Southampton's Band Of Skulls sees them take a slightly more polished approach to the production.

At the core, it's still classic BOS with the glammed-up stomp, led Zeppelin-esque riffing and quirky timings out in full force on first single Asleep At The Wheel, the retro twangy tones of Cold Sweat and I Guess I Know You Fairly Well.

It's a smorgasbord of cool guitar tone and playing, and even though the hooks come and go at times, Band Of Skulls prove that it's possible to make an incredible sound with just three members.

I'm a freelance member of the MusicRadar team, specialising in drum news, interviews and reviews. I formerly edited Rhythm and Total Guitar here in the UK and have been playing drums for more than 25 years (my arms are very tired). When I'm not working on the site, I can be found on my electronic kit at home, or gigging and depping in function bands and the odd original project.
