If you like your Rock to sound like it was melded together with crude tools in the middle of a thunderstorm then touched by an angel Band of Skulls should be unmissable.

You are back in Australia mid-June for a few dates down the East Coast in support of Himalayan – you’re getting to be regular visitors to our shores. What do you look forward to about coming down under?
Was the creation process any different for Himalayan than for previous releases?
You have a very primal sound, but with the new album you can catch an almost softer, glam edge creeping in, which really rounds out the overall sound beautifully. Would you agree?

“Hoochie Coochie” is a real stomper that really captures a ‘70s vibe beautifully – I’ll bet that kills it live?
“Brothers and Sisters” is such a great song, how do you feel when you listen to the finished mix of a song like that?
The vocal interplay on some songs is taken to new heights, are you pleased how that aspect of your sound has grown?

Which songs are you digging the most at the moment?
What are we likely to hear in the live set when we see you next week?
What are your plans for the rest of 2014?
