‘Tanooki Suit’ is a devilishly strange and wonderful release from Las Vegas project, Bad Sneakers. With a Satanism theme throughout the album it gets even more mysterious when you discover that it’s coming from an anonymous, conceptual artist, who deals heavily with mythology.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Bad Sneakers sees themselves as freedom fighters, dedicated to Soleism, which is the belief that,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“the journey of life was represented by the path one took, and that one’s sneakers, or soles, were a symbol of that path.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this all sounds a bit serious and even sinister, Bad Sneakers’ sound is overall catchy and even a bit fun, with song titles such as ‘Live, Laugh, Lucifer’, and ‘Fuck Around’. Musically the sound should appeal to fans of the likes of Oingo Boingo, and Mr. Bungle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of the album, Bad Sneakers says,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“This album is inspired by the tenets of the Satanic Temple, with strong themes around Satan, Anarchy, Vintage Video Games and Anime.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

‘Tanooki Suit’ is set for release on April 7, and can be pre-saved on all streaming services here<\/a>. Find out more about Bad Sneakers and their music online on
