Arcadian Shadows Dublin

Post-Punk // Dublin, Dublin

Forged to the sound that they always needed to be, Arcadian Shadows channel the chaos of modern life that is both ferocious, rebellious and cathartic. Their songs tackle themes of alienation, post modernity and refusal of acceptance of an ever-growing dystopian world around them. They echo the spirit of classic 70’s anthemic punk but fused with a more contemporary post punk sound but carving out a voice that is distinctly their own.

Arcadian Shadows are a four piece post punk band from Dublin, Ireland. With razor sharp riffs, pounding rhythms, and lyrics that cut to the bone, they embody the raw spirit of punk while pushing boundaries into new sonic territory. We bring a melody driven anthemic punk sound echoing (Sex pistols, Dead Kennedys) but imbued and delivered with a contemporary post punk energy (Idles, Gurriers) and intensity.
