Skeletons are not created in death; they are exposed, revealing life’s foundation. Within the album “Strangers on a Damned Staircase,” a foundation is revealed with a forceful energy named Skeletons in the Piano. Known as a ‘Dirty Haunted Rock Group,’ Skeletons in the Piano are highly influenced by old world music, Blues, Rock and Roll, and Alternative that is exemplified by this album. Haunting vocal melodies accompanied by an equally haunting yet sometimes melancholic violin. The overall dramatic feel is held down with a steady foundation of drums executed with precision, intricate guitar riffs and steady bass.
