Napoleon Baby Release New Single ‘God Damn Enthusiast’
Napoleon Baby crashes through the noise with their latest single God Damn Enthusiast, a searing post-punk anti-anthem laced with sardonic wit and wiry guitar chaos. Equal parts theatrical and unhinged, the track fuses jagged rhythms, deadpan vocal snarls, and a raw, live-wire aesthetic that calls to mind the confrontational spirit of The Fall and the angular drive of early Sonic Youth. It’s a scathing, no-holds-barred takedown of blind optimism — blistering, brilliant, and impossible to ignore.
With a verse set to a stabbing guitar riff before the thunderous chorus kicks in, God Damn Enthusiast is a pointed reflection of Napoleon Baby’s impending album’s core message: we are living in an age of sanctioned greed and cultivated chaos. The world, once guided by ideals of fairness and restraint, has surrendered itself to men who wear ambition like a mask and deception like a second skin. They were given an inch, and they built empires on it — empires of lies, exploitation, and self-interest.
What once passed for empathy has dried up, traded for spectacle and profit. Charity is now a brand, and kindness is mocked as weakness. The moral compass, if it still exists, spins blindly in a storm of noise and disinformation.
There are no winners here—only survivors, scavengers picking at the last scraps of a system that sold out its soul long ago. God Damn Enthusiast isn’t just a song; it’s a reckoning.
Optimism never sounded so hostile.
God Damn Enthusiast is a visceral, genre-dodging track that feels both cathartic and confrontational. Napoleon Baby isn’t interested in pleasing everyone — they’re here to shake you awake, to sneer at complacency, and to make you feel something, even if it’s discomfort. This is what post-punk should be in 2025: fearless, fractured, and full of fight.
Napoleon Baby head to Europe for a series of shows in August.
