The Shed Project ‘Our Fear Is Their Power’ Album Review

Following on from their brilliant debut album ‘The Curious Mind Of A Common Man’ we are graced with what can only be described as a powerful, inspiring and heartfelt album entitled ‘Our Fear Is Their Power.’

Bolton band The Shed Project show their talents and growth with their new album. Each track goes from strength to strength, hooking you all the way in. The quality in production and song writing is refined, Roy’s vocals are heartfelt and real and their sound has matured.

‘Our Fear Is Their Power’ tackles every day life and difficult subjects, they are a band of the people. ‘Our Fear Is Their Power’ talks about the corrupted government, ‘Ghost Town’ is about the bands very own town and how it has been left to ruin, a familiar story to many towns all over the UK and ‘Naughty’ is well…it’s naughty!

I hear alot of inspiration from the greats of the 90’s, The Verve, Charlatans, Oasis and Stone Roses just to name a few which gives the album a nostalgic feel but with a sound completely unique to The Shed Project making it their own. The band are referred to alot like The Stone Roses, as much as they have similar qualities they are so much more than that, The Shed Project can’t be pigeon holed.

2023 has been a great year for bands on the independent music scene. This year has been a fantastic year for album releases, along with The Heavy North’s ‘Delta Shakedown’, ‘Our Fear Is Their Power’ is one of our favourites and is a strong contender for Music Scene Wales’ Album Of The Year 2023!

The Shed Project Release New Single ‘Our Fear Is Their Power’

Following their last melodic masterpiece for mental health organisation WHYSUP, Bolton band The Shed Project are back with balls, with Rock ’n’ Roll Bells on. The fantastic new single Our Fear Is Their Power is out now across all streaming platforms.

Described by vocalist Roy Fletcher as a song about the lies and corruption of the establishment and the main stream media, it signals a return to the hard indie edged sounds of yesteryear with The Shed Project and their unique modern 2023 twist.

Smooth rolling toms, Machine gun snare beats, Swirling guitar lines and beautiful rolling bass lines all compliment the strong vocal delivery advocating Power to the People. The song is taken from their second Album due for release in October which has been recorded in their hometown, Bolton. Produced by Danny Heyes at the Ivy Studio marks the bands development evolving into one the most sought-after live acts in the UK. Catch one of their confirmed Live appearances this summer at the Right to Roam & Made In Manchester festivals.
