Following last month’s reveal of their new song “The Devil Takes Their Own”, UK alt rockers Band of Skulls have revealed details about their next studio album as well as plans for a Spring 2012 U.S. tour.
The album, titled Sweet Sour, hits stores on February 21st via their own imprint, Electric Blues Records, and Vagrant Records.
