"...Glam, dangerous and just a bit kinky..." �“ NME
Southampton's Band Of Skulls release their blistering new single, I Know What I Am on March 15th 2010 through You Are Here.
The single is taken from their highly acclaimed debut album "Baby Darling Doll Face Honey", which has received rave reviews in the NME, Kerrang, Rocksound, Classic Rock and UNCUT amongst others.
Band Of Skulls previously scored an iTunes 'Single Of The Week' with the track, which was downloaded by over 500,000 music fans worldwide - an unprecedented success for a previously unknown band.
2009 saw them making waves in the US, with the band being one of the 'must see' picks of Lollapaloza, as well as selling out gigs across the country including New York's Bowery Ballroom and The Troubadour in LA. With a TV performance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show under their belts and a forthcoming appearance on David Letterman's 'Tonight' show, they will be returning to the US later this spring for SXSW and another string of tour dates. They were also one of the main acts featured to be on the hugely successful 'Twilight - A New Moon' film soundtrack, performing at the films premiere in London, LA and Toronto.
Having previously toured with the likes of Spiritualized, Metric and Wolfmother, the band will be playing again across Europe in January, with their biggest UK headline shows to date scheduled for February.

Their album Baby Darling Doll Face Honey was produced by Ian Davenport (Supergrass, Badly Drawn Boy) 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.
