Band Of Skulls: Light Of The Morning
Have you seen the new Ford 2011 Mustang ad. In particular, have you heard this ad? The music rocks, and it took me a while to track down who performs this song. It is by “Band Of Skulls”, a band name I am familiar with and placed on the “must listen to [...]
The Sounds: Dorchester Hotel
I love discovering a band on my own – the challenge in searching through “similar artists” lists or computer-generated “recommended artists”.

The XX: Intro
