Napoleon Baby Announce Debut Album ‘Everybody’s Watching and Nobody Cares’

British-Kiwi post-punk agitators Napoleon Baby release their debut album Everybody’s Watching and Nobody Cares on July 4th – a bold, full-length statement for a world fraying at the edges. Raw, unfiltered, and darkly soulful, the album takes aim at a society drowning in ego, distraction, and delusion.

Written in a time when egomaniacs control the globe and charlatans use religion to influence the susceptible, Everybody’s Watching and Nobody Cares is a compelling, angry, eclectic, and deeply human record about culture, progressiveness, idolising bad men, and not repeating the mistakes of the past. Infl uenced by genre-defi ers like St. Vincent, Radiohead, QOTSA, and The Stooges, Napoleon Baby have shaped a distinctively lo-fi , purpose-driven indie sound that bites just as hard as it bleeds.

“Every song on this album is related to something important happening right now,” says frontman Dan Jones. “We don’t want to just sit around and live in a bubble. We’re part of a global community. There’s a responsibility in that – to stand up for people and call out dickheads. We will not aim for retirement at 35. We will not ignore injustice. If that’s you, don’t listen to this record. Go listen to Six60 or Benson Boone .”

The album succeeds a steady run of singles and EP’s with Napoleon Baby already established themselves as a band unafraid to call it like it is. Their debut album only deepens the wound – pulling no punches, and asking the listener to do the same.

Vinyl is available for crowdfunding pre-order now via Holiday Records HERE. This offers fans a chance to directly support both the band, and Auckland based Holiday Records, and own a limited edition pressing of the album.

Napoleon Baby will celebrate the release with a headline show at Ponsonby Social Club, Auckland, on 4th July, joined by Papercity and Bare Bear before Napoleon Baby head to Europe for a series of shows. Tickets for the Auckland gig are available HERE.
