Auckland/London post-punk outfit Napoleon Baby pull no punches on their debut album ‘Everybody’s Watching and Nobody Cares’. Equal parts protest and provocation, it’s a sharp, lo-fi statement from a band unafraid to say the quiet part out loud.
Built on raw guitar work, biting lyrics, and a disdain for apathy, the album takes aim at ego-driven politics, performative culture, and the glorification of all the wrong people. “We don’t want to live in a bubble,” says frontman Dan Jones. “There’s a responsibility to call things out.”
Drawing influence from St. Vincent, The Stooges, and Radiohead, Napoleon Baby craft a sound that’s immediate and emotionally charged, without slipping into cynicism. It’s confrontational, yes—but there’s care in the chaos.
The release follows a run of uncompromising singles and is available now, with limited edition vinyl available for pre-order via Holiday Records. Napoleon Baby mark the release with a headline show in Auckland before heading to Europe for tour dates.
Everybody’s Watching and Nobody Cares is a bold first chapter from a band built to disrupt—and they're only getting started.
