Band of Skulls
Someone told me to listen to this band because "they sound just like the White Stripes" but I don't think they do at all... Am I missing something or am I just too used to the Stripes to be able to hear another band as 'almost the same'?

Anyways, what are your thoughts?

I've heard that they are 'just like the Dead Weather'... Should probably check them out, as they play in Norway in a week or so..

Re: Band of Skulls
They are more like the Dead Weather - and in fact were the support band when TDW played
at the London Roundhouse recently.

Re: Band of Skulls
Band of Skulls are my favorite band over the past year or so. I don't see any similarity to TWS, (other than great music) and a little comparison between Emma Richardson's voice and AM's, but that is about all. Their album IMHO blows Horehound or SOC away.
I have seen them three times this year, and if you get a chance I don't think you will regret it.

Don't believe the 60's was the golden age of pop. You glorify the past when the future dries up.

Re: Band of Skulls
I said the dead weather sound like them. They do not sound like the dead weather.
I got that deep into variants once before with a collection, please shoot me if I go there again, it will drive you crazy I promise...
But nice stuff for sure.

Re: Band of Skulls
I don't know if anyone else has this experience, but every time I try and introduce someone to a really great band that sound nothing like the White Stripes, they say "oh yeah they sound just like the White Stripes." I try not to be a music snob, because most of my friends don't nerd-out as hard as I do, but it cracks me up that a lot of people (at least in my social circles) fall back on the White Stripes to describe a band, regardless of genre.

I'm certain Meg wishes she could sing like Emma. Don't hear it myself.Hamptonio wrote:
