Shadow People’s new record, Batom Rouge, pulls from influences all over the rock spectrum. It releases March 7, but you can hear it here first.
Baton Rouge’s finest bipolar, indie sludged, kinky screaming, vocal popped, misunderstanding rock, Shadow People have been destroying musical norms since 2013.
While their initial progress was slow, they’ve spent the last few years refining their sound into the pure and powerful force they garner today around the city they call home. Like an oven, Baton Rouge has cooked the noisy, feedback-fueled rock into a devastating hammer of passion and pain through the local punk and hardcore scene, resulting in something they call emotional sludge core.
With powerful live shows, the band’s energy and momentum is a palpable, driving force that slaps you in the face in its unrelenting path.
From Matt Conradi (guitar/vocals) “Batom Rouge is an ode to Baton Rouge,” says Matt Conradi, guitarist and vocalist. “It’s about being so fucking discouraged with this place and using that to be encouraged.”
