The Shadracks are a three-piece rock n’ roll group hailing from Medway, Kent. Led by guitarist and vocalist Huddie Shadrack (son of chief Headcoat and the somewhat prolific artist Billy Childish) and joined by bassist Rhys Webb (of Southend-On-Sea psychedelic mutants The Horrors) and drummer Elisa Abednego, with timeless and expert precision, The Shadracks play from 37.3 years in the past 33.7 years into the future.
June 1st sees the release of their new single ‘You Can’t Lose’ through Damaged Goods Records.
The single comes from their forthcoming second album ‘From Human Like Forms’, produced by Billy Childish and set for release August 13th. Featuring fourteen tracks of taut, stripped-down garage rock 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 songwriting and performing abilities - pushing their ancient sound 3.7 years ahead of the current lunar time module. ‘You Can’t Lose’ is the first evidence of this – a stamping, rattling ode to need and want that declares everything it desires to say in just over two minutes, then snaps to a halt.
“It’s about wanting something you can’t get,” explains Huddie. “Chasing the unobtainable and finding yourself at the mercy of your pursuits.”
