[dropcap]Post-punk[/dropcap] traditionalists, trust me on this one.  If you’re craving that early sound of flanging guitars, tribal-esque drum beats and atmospheric reverb, look no further than Shadow Age’s debut EP Silaluk. Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, a Southern city known for its black metal and hardcore punk, Shadow Age is anything but.  The tracks recall the romantic but dark music of Faith-era Cure, The Sound and Asylum Party.  With Silaluk, Shadow Age acts as revivalists of the early post-punk sound, successfully delivering a fresh perspective into the current spectrum of today’s music – a feat few have yet to achieve.  Discover for yourself here.
