If your looking to hear something new, you’ve come to the right place. I’m no expert on post punk/goth , but what I can tell you is that Shadowhouse can lay down some well written songs with some cool music that may remind you of the early 80’s just a little bit or maybe a hint of VU. Give a listen to them, start your day off with something you’ve never listened to before. Tell your friends about this cool Band that you heard first about at 50thirdand3rd.com…Very well done, love the guitar work……..
