English rock band Band of Skulls, formed in Southampton in 2004. The original lineup consisted of Russell Marsden (guitar, vocals), Emma Richardson (bass, vocals), and Matt Hayward (drums). Initially performing under the name Fleeing New York, the trio eventually rebranded as Band of Skulls in 2008, marking the beginning of their rise on the indie rock scene.

In recent years, Band of Skulls have continued to evolve and experiment with their sound, releasing several albums and maintaining a strong presence both live and through the continued use of their well crafted songs across film and TV. Early this year the band performed a homecoming show in Southampton, celebrating their journey and connection to their roots showcasing the band's enduring appeal and energy. Marsden introduced a new line up and took the opportunity to hint at the new material to come in 2025. He also gave the gathered fans early news of an imminent box set which will tell the story of those first three records through a deluxe book and vinyl offering which will include sought after tracks, demos and b-sides as well as an unprecedented look into his personal archive of the band's history, including many never seen before photos and memorabilia. Band of Skulls' career has been marked by a consistent dedication to their craft and an ability to innovate within the rock genre. With their first three albums, "Baby Darling Doll Face Honey," "Sweet Sour," and "Himalayan," they established themselves as a force in the indie rock world and continue to captivate audiences and solidify their legacy as a dynamic and influential rock band.
