Band of Skulls are an English rock band from Southampton, consisting of Russell Marsden (guitar, vocals), Emma Richardson (bass, vocals), and Matt Hayward (drums). The group formed after meeting in college, although Marsden and Hayward have been friends since school. Band of Skulls have released three studio albums, their most recent being Himalayan in March 2014.
History
Initially, the group played at night clubs in the Greater London area and recorded some demos under the name of Fleeing New York before changing their name to Band of Skulls in November 2008. The band's original demos were recorded in Hayward's father's shed-studio.
Band of Skulls' debut album Baby Darling Doll Face Honey, distributed by Shangri-La Music, was released exclusively on the iTunes Store on 6 March 2009, followed by a general release on 20 March. The track "I Know What I Am" was chosen as iTunes' free Single of the Week to coincide with the digital release. The song was also featured in the soundtrack for TV series Friday Night Lights, Volume 2, which was released on 4 May 2010. The song also appeared in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. Another track that was not actually on the album, "Friends", was included on The Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack in November 2009.

You Aren't Pretty But You Got It Going On
by: Band Of SkullsHis own death plays a single song,
You feel lost but you know where you're from
You're not pretty but you got it going on
Your head swims in electric blues
If all fails, you can't lose
My lover cover his phone
You turned on but there's nobody home
Your feet straight but you're not as natural
Your feet static shock
It's real, and he's not
I got out of my
I got out of my
I've got a plan for the future
And that's whatever from my fingers
How cold, she's so old
And I cannot believe that you wanna be here
On your own, in this cradle of love
His own death plays a single song,
You feel lost but you know where you're from
You're not pretty but you got it going on
His own death plays a single song,
You feel lost but you know where you're from
