The Shadracks, a three-piece rock n’ roll group hailing from Medway, Kent, return today with a new cut from their forthcoming second album ‘From Human Like Forms’, due August 13th via Damaged Goods Records.
Titled ‘Barefoot On The Pavement’, the song is, according to guitarist and vocalist Huddie Shadrack (and son of punk and art icon Billy Childish, who also produced the album) “about alien abduction, Ignorance and bliss.” It certainly sounds other worldly with its moody, gentle guitar and slow brooding rhythm, evoking images of grainy sci-fi movies swamped in eerie mystery and intrigued.
The Shadracks are joined by bassist Rhys Webb (from The Horrors) and drummer Elisa Abednego and ‘From Human Like Forms’ follows on from their debut self-titled album in 2018, also available through Damaged Goods. Featuring fourteen tracks of taut, stripped-down garage punk that has the capacity to be as whimsical as it is stomping, ‘From Human Like Forms’ sees The Shadracks achieving giddy new heights in their song writing and performing abilities.
The anticipated release will be complimented by videos for the album’s single releases shot by innovative film maker, and former The Jesus And Mary Chain bassist Douglas Hart, and The Shadracks will be playing at the infamous Cave Club, at Moth in East London on August 13th to celebrate the release of the album.
