Q: What the hell is an Afroskull?
A: It’s the long lost soundtrack to a 70's horror porno flick performed by a rock band.

Q: What?
A: You heard me.

Q: Okay, you don’t have to get angry.
A: I’m always angry.

Q: You’ve been around for a while. How come I’ve never heard of you?
A: We were living in New Orleans, destroying Southern clubs and leaving a trail of     demoralized bands in our wake.

Q: And now?
A: Now we’re back where we belong, in N.Y.M.F.C.

Q: Is the band any different now that you’re living in New York?
A: After returning to New York we started playing without a regular horn section for the first time - getting back to a stripped-down, raw power sound. However, now that we have a new NYC based horn section, we're getting back to a stripped-down, raw power sound... with a horn section.

Q: Can I read some pull quotes about you?
A: Knock yourself out.

"You've got power up there - and it's funky too!"
- Leo Nocentelli of the Meters


“When Afroskull gets started up, they unleash a powerful giant . . . Unlike any other funk band in New Orleans, the ‘Skull produces a gritty, dark metal sound that can keep the house rocking the entire night.”
- Offbeat Magazine, New Orleans

“Afroskull is one of the most promising young bands on the scene -- by virtue of how hard they rock . . . Guitarist Joe Scatassa’s muscular guitar lines and solos differentiate Afroskull from its peers . . . [the band] sounds like a cross between a Curtis Mayfield score and a James Bond soundtrack.”
- The Gambit Weekly, New Orleans

“This is hard-core hard-bop with a thick, walloping sound that would certainly get you evicted if you cranked this stuff up higher than a 5 or 6 on your volume dial. Afroskull churns out intense funk-sludge that takes no prisoners.”
- Where Y’At Magazine, New Orleans
