Casper Skulls (toronto) is the perfect punk/alternative rock from canada. returning to cincinnati touring on their debut album "mercy works" out nov 3rd on buzz records - if you’re looking for a new favorite band casper skulls are it.
Over the course of their young career the band’s sound has remained difficult to pin down, shifting through a broad collection of influences and jamming a raft of new ideas into each song, giving the impression that the 7” and the EP were “just the tip of the iceberg” (Noisey). The band’s forthcoming debut full length, Mercy Works, which will be released on November 3rd via Buzz, only serves to deepen that impression, making good on their early promise with a release that constitutes a startlingly ambitious statement of intent.
