Young Skulls

***The YOUNG SKULLS are comprised of three storied head bashers: vocalist and guitarist PETER AARON (CHROME CRANKS, AVONDALE ARIFORCE), drummer CHRIS TURCO (TRANS AM, SCEME CREAMERS) and organist MATTY DREAD (EL FRONT, COUNTY HELL). The trio came together in 2015 in the dimly lit basement of a grimy machine shop next to the railroad tracks in an isolated industrial sector of Kingston, New York, about two hours north of Manhattan. And that’s pretty much what they sound like. Scraping sheet-metal guitar. Howling alley-cat vocals. Bashing, hydraulic-press drums. And wheezing organ that echoes the squealing iron wheels of the crude oil carriers thundering by hourly just outside their bleak practice chamber. They sound like all of that cool stuff, with songs. Catchy songs.
