The Crooked Skulls’ debut Midnight Sun is already turning heads across the heavy underground, with early praise highlighting the band’s groove-driven power and no-frills approach to riff-heavy rock. Dirty Rock Magazine calls the record “the moment where everything’s come together,” noting that “the band can stand on its own riffs” and that “the groove isn’t a gimmick… it’s the backbone of the entire record.” Built on dense low end, raw energy, and a commitment to feel over flash, Midnight Sun captures a band locking fully into their sound and delivering it with conviction. With comparisons to classic heavy rock and a modern edge, The Crooked Skulls are proving they’re not just part of the scene, they’re built for it.
