The Shadow Project The Shadow Project are an English electro rock band that formed in Felixstowe, Suffolk in 2003. The original (and current) line-up consists of Tom Askew (Guitars), Stephen Hurley (Drums), Simon McCarthy (Guitars) and Ben Wright (Bass / Electronics). Having released their debut album 'A Beauty To Fight For' to critical acclaim in 2007, The Shadow Project split a year later. They reformed in 2011 with their comeback release 'The Nature Boys' being described as "stunning' by BBC Introducing in the UK. The band remain firm favourites with Huw Stephens and Sigur Rós manager John Best (who had previously invited the band on tour) and are set to release a new record later this year.
