Nearly Skulls

Grumpy Dad Rock Nearly Skulls are proof that the creative fire never fades. Manchester duo Paul Sherwood and Andy Shepley first joined forces in the ’90s with industrial outfit DOWNTIME, before taking Americana-rock band WIREWOOD across the US, releasing two albums and performing at iconic underground LA venues like Goldfingers, Canters Kibbitz Room and The Viper Room. Reunited as Nearly Skulls, they channel decades of experience into urgent, guitar-driven songs confronting politics, technology and modern life with grit, wit and purpose. Blending British indie sharpness with American alt-rock muscle, made for fans of R.E.M., The Smiths, Gang of Four and Foo Fighters, and anyone who believes it’s never too late to make some noise.
