Charades, ShitNoise's fourth album, is the band's most audacious and eclectic work to date. Initially known for a style ranging from Noise Rock to Grunge to hints of Hardcore Punk and Alternative/Indie Rock, ShitNoise pushes boundaries with this album, exploring a variety of different styles. Each track reflects a different genre, allowing the band to venture into many different sonic territories while retaining their unique identity.
Influences range from the chaotic energy of The Armed and Rammstein, to the sounds of Fontaines D.C., First Of October, Xiu Xiu, Rage Against The Machine, IDLES, Viagra Boys and many more. All these diverse inspirations blend to create a unique sound that belongs to ShitNoise.
Regarding the theme of Charades, this album questions the pressure on identity, the fact of being obliged to wear a mask to meet society's expectations, the loss of your true self, thus creating a complex work with which many listeners can relate to.
In addition, Charades gives new life to unfinished songs from previous projects such as Chasse Aux Hiboux and Burn And Leave The Rest, creating as a result a tribute and a bridge between Shitnoise's past and present.
This album shows the pinnacle of the band's creativity, combining all their accumulated experience and paving the way for new musical explorations.
