The Volume’s Up, the Eyeliner’s Sharp, and the Takes are Hotter than a Marshall Stack on Fire—Welcome to Skye’s The Limit.

Today, we’re diving into the storm that is Evil Shadows, straight outta good ol’ Omaha, Nebraska. These cornfed, hard-hitting sons of the Midwest aren’t just making noise—they're forging straight-up bangers that demand your attention. Their latest release, "Shake the Floor," officially dropped on August 23, 2024, and if you haven’t heard it yet, you’re already late to the pit.
I was lucky enough to catch this one before release day, and from the very first second, I was hooked. It wasn’t just a song drop—it was a seismic event. Live, it absolutely rips. The moment it kicked in, my instincts took over: head banging, lungs burning, screaming every word back at the stage like it was gospel. This track isn’t just meant to be played—it’s meant to be felt. Loud. Together.
“Shake the Floor” opens with a ripping bassline that punches through the silence, followed by an electrifying scream--“LET’S GOOOOOO!” What follows is pure sonic adrenaline: thunderous drums that thunder like war drums, searing guitar leads that flood your senses, and then--the voice.
Chris “Juicy” Holtman doesn’t just sing; he bleedsthrough the mic. His raw, passionate delivery dares the crowd to feel every ounce of energy he's releasing. When he asks, “Can you feel it?” there’s only one answer: Yes, Chris—YES. We. Can.
And when he belts “Push the roof off, together as one,” it hits like a rallying cry. A declaration. In this scene, we don’t stand alone—we rise to be heard, be seen, and be felt.
Evil Shadows brings together a powerhouse of dark, dynamic energy. Chris “Juicy” Holtman leads with ferocious conviction, while Rob Shields holds down the low end on bass and backing vocals, delivering a gritty groove that cuts through the chaos. Austin Hurd brings thunder from the kit, fueling each track with unrelenting rhythm and power. On guitars, Bryan Bubacz and Garret Holtman shred and weave through harmonies with a lethal mix of precision and madness. Together, they’re a band not just built to perform—but to ignite.
If I had to slap a rating on this one?
 — Full Melt: You’ll need a new tube and a neck brace.
I’ve gotta say—Evil Shadows aren’t just melting faces with their music; they’re good people, too. Genuine, passionate, and fiercely dedicated to their craft. With only 55 monthly listeners on Spotify, it’s wild to me that more people haven’t caught on yet. But trust me—they’re coming. And when they do, it’s going to be loud.
Their time is now, and their sound deserves to shake the masses.
 That’s the take from my side of the stage—until next time, keep your amps hot and your eyeliner hotter. 
L.A. OUT
