OVERVIEW: Southampton's Band Of Skulls release their debut album, baby darling doll face honey, on September 21st 2009 through You Are Here. The album will be preceded by single, 'Death By Diamonds And Pearls' on the 14th September.
The band previously scored an iTunes 'Single Of The Week' with the track 'I Know What I Am', which was downloaded by over 400,000 music fans worldwide earlier this year - an unprecedented success for a previously unknown band.
Fresh from playing a string of UK dates, including Club NME at Koko and Hoxton's Stag & Dagger festival, the band are currently touring the US and will return to the UK in September for a national tour. This summer has seen the band receive glowing reviews for their live show, most notably at Suffolk's Latitude Festival, where they were the pick of the Guardian's 'Must See' new bands.
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.
The band quickly established themselves in both the music and art community with a series of culturally inspired club nights in Southampton, London and further a field in Moscow & Tokyo.
Their album 'Baby Darling Doll Face Honey' was produced, recorded and mixed by Ian Davenport (Supergrass, Badly Drawn Boy) and recorded at Radiohead's Courtyard Studios in Oxfordshire and mixed at the House of Blues studio in Los Angeles and perfectly captures the band's aptitude for heartbreaking duets and sun-kissed, Wall of Sound harmonies.

Chris Weitz, director of forthcoming sequel to 'Twilight' - A New Moon, starring Robert Pattinson recently indicated that Band Of Skulls music will also feature in the film, alongside Radiohead and Muse.
