Band Of Skulls Band Of Skulls have given us a radio show, featuring the band chatting and playing songs they like. Isn't that lovely? Even better is the fact that, through diving back in our inboxes, we're able to give you some interesting facts about the band:

See, that's far more interesting than knowing their debut album 'Baby Darling Doll Face Honey' is out on September 21st, or the fact they head out on a full UK tour in September & October (click here for tickets), isn't it? Never mind a single 'Death By Diamond and Pearls' coming out on September 14th.
