Johannesburg-based trio Shadowclub make rootsy, bluesy rock. Like the classic rock acts that inspire them, Shadowclub are about powerful songs performed with a passion that explodes from the speakers and, live, can be felt at full force by their fans.The album’s title track is a furiously-paced, feel-good rocker, driven by an insistent, funk-fuelled bassline, cacophonous drums and a hip-shaking groove. You’ll hear shades of The Doors and The Ramones, snarled, seductive vocals and woo-hoosthat cry out to be chanted back. Elsewhere, you’ll spot hints of The Who, The White Stripes, John Lee Hooker and Howlin’ Wolf.The album was produced by Matthew Fink and mastered in the States at Magic Garden Studios by Brian Lucey (The Black Keys).

When I first ever heard Shadowclub play, my jaw hit the floor. It wasn't the tightness of the band or even the songs to be honest. It was just that I was listening to a genuine bona fide rock n roll group – I realized at that moment that I dont think I'd ever actually heard one before." Jon Savage-5FM

“Shadowclub know how to write songs, know how to deliver them and best of all... sound like they’re having a blast doing it.
