Band of Skulls’ official music video for “Asleep at the Wheel” recently premiered at Vevo and can now be viewed/embedded here. The song is from the U.K. trio’s new album, Himalayan, which is out now to widespread critical acclaim on Electric Blues Recordings via Kobalt Label Services (iTunes, Amazon). In celebration of the release, the trio will return this spring for extensive North American tour. Of their recent performance at the iTunes Festival at SXSW, American Songwriter praises, “the blistering rock nature of these tunes indicating that the group…have pursued an altogether more arena-capable sound.” See below for complete tour itinerary.

Last month, the U.K. trio performed their hit single, “Asleep at the Wheel,” on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” and was recently featured on NBC’s “Last Call with Carson Daly.” The song is also currently featured in worldwide Netflix campaign.

Himalayan was produced by Nick Launay (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arcade Fire, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) and was recorded during the summer of 2013 in Richmond, London at State of the Ark studios. It follows 2012’s Sweet Sour, which debuted at #14 on the U.K. album chart and received widespread acclaim—NME praised, “Proficient, precision-executed blues-rock,” while Consequence of Sound praised, “sizzles with muscle-driven, sludgy honest-to-goodness rock.” In the years since, the band has toured alongside Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Keys, The Dead Weather, Queens of the Stone Age and Muse and sold-out two headlining shows at London’s The Roundhouse and Brixton Academy.

Band of Skulls is Russell Marsden (guitar, vocals), Emma Richardson (bass, vocals) and Matt Hayward (drums).
