Dubbed the Amsterdam ambassadors of high-energy rock and roll, Savage Beat return with their explosive new full-length ‘Bright Lights, Tall Shadows,’ landing March 6, 2026 via Wap Shoo Wap Records. Since forming in 2016, the band have carved out a reputation for their self-described street boogie, a riff-heavy collision of late 70s punk, high-octane rock and Oi attitude. A decade of touring across the USA and Europe, major festival appearances including Zwarte Cross, Scumbash, Helldorado, Revolution Calling and Sjock, plus shared stages with The Damned, Cock Sparrer, Angelic Upstarts and The Exploited have cemented their status as full-throttle torchbearers.
On ‘Bright Lights, Tall Shadows,’ Savage Beat amplify everything that defines them: towering riffs, punchy hooks and anthems built for packed clubs and festival chaos. Standouts include the instrumental “Street Boogie Confidential,” the ferocious “Cut to the Chase” and the relentless single “Unhinged.” The record balances celebratory defiance with sharper reflections on modern tension while keeping its boot firmly on the gas.
