Band of Skulls - Himalayan review

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.

Stuart has been working for guitar publications since 2008, beginning his career as Reviews Editor for Total Guitar before becoming Editor for six years. During this time, he and the team brought the magazine into the modern age with digital editions, a Youtube channel and the Apple chart-bothering Total Guitar Podcast. Stuart has also served as a freelance writer for Guitar World, Guitarist and MusicRadar reviewing hundreds of products spanning everything from acoustic guitars to valve amps, modelers and plugins. When not spouting his opinions on the best new gear, Stuart has been reminded on many occasions that the 'never meet your heroes' rule is entirely wrong, clocking-up interviews with the likes of Eddie Van Halen, Foo Fighters, Green Day and many, many more.
