Skeletal Family

Skeletal Family is a Rock group from United Kingdom, formed on January 1, 1982.

By being one of the more prominent Alternative bands from the early / mid 1980's, Skeletal Family enjoyed relatively major national and international success. From topping the National UK Indie Charts for three weeks in Autumn 1984 with debut album "Burning Oil" (above other contemporary northern bands The Smiths & New Order) to recording seven BBC Radio One sessions for John Peel, Janice Long & Kid Jensen. Their impressive live show at this time brought them to the attention of The Sisters of Mercy front man Andrew Eldritch .
