North Staffordshire indie rock band Shader have announced the release of their highly-anticipated debut full-length album 'Everything Is Connected'.
The album was produced by Gavin Monahagan (Editors) with additional production from Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers) and Tom Longworth and will be out through Run On Records on 28th October.
SHADER are known for delivering an eclectic swirl of huge melodic guitar riffs & northern grooves colliding with addictive arena-sized choruses.
The record features new single ‘Streets Tell Stories’ (set to arrive on October 14), as well as 11 other new songs which includes the already slated second key radio single, ‘Figure It Out’ which will follow the release of this single. Earlier in SHADER’s career demo version of tunes that would later form the core of ‘Everything Is Connected’ had caught the ear of none other than Clint Boon ex -Inspiral Carpets in his late radio presenter role, with Clint taking the opportunity of playing some unreleased SHADER to none other his radio studio guest at that time, Noel Gallagher famously a long time roadie with The Inspiral Carpets in his pre OASIS days.
Speaking of the track Stu states ‘Streets Tell Stories’ “is a song about the social anxiety of decadence slowly creeping into a person's life. The inspiration began when Daz and myself were in my car outside our old practice room in Stoke. We witnessed a workman in a hi-vis walking out of a bookies covered from head to toe in blood pouring from his nose. He walked down the street and stopped at a cash point to draw out money. He then walked back into the bookies. That said a lot about his situation in 30 seconds and the idea of 'Streets Tell Stories' was born. The lyrics are about that incident but then expand on how easily someone can become that person dealing with their struggles in an unforgiving world. The outro lyrics 'Let me go' is a plea to escape your situation or town or both. The feeling of the song pushes against the stark reality of the lyrics and gives the feeling of not giving up and fighting against your state of mind or situation. It's essentially a song of faith in moving forward.”
