NAPOLEON announce debut album ‘Newborn Mind’ and reveal video for ‘Afterlife’

Melodic hardcore quartet NAPOLEON have announced the release of their long-awaited debut album ‘Newborn Mind’ on the 27th May 2016 via Basick Records. The record is the first to feature the band’s new vocalist Wes Thompson, formerly of Climates. Pre-orders of ‘Newborn Mind’ are now live via the band’s website: http://napoleonuk.com

To coincide with the announcement, Napoleon have given us a glimpse of the new material with their single ‘Afterlife’, which was given its first play on the BBC Radio One Rock Show by Dan P. Carter.

Since their inception in 2011, Napoleon have become highly revered on the hardcore scene for seamlessly combining abrasive punk attitude with technical virtuosity and inventive hook laden songwriting. In true punk rock style, Napoleon have barely left the road in their time as a band, touring with Being As An Ocean, The Devil Wears Prada, Architects, Comeback Kid, Defeater, The Amity Affliction, and jumping on countless underground DIY tours across Europe.

Having honed their skills in the live arena, the resulting sound is truly organic and energetic, setting them leagues apart from the many bedroom projects with players of a similar technical calibre. Napoleon could be compared to the likes of Architects, At The Drive In and Propaghandi, who have all shown fearless boundary pushing whilst retaining real attitude and feel.
