BOB SCHNEIDER RELEASES NEW SINGLE "LORD OF THE FLIES."
Along with a single, Schneider announces forthcoming LP In A Room Full of Blood with Sleeping Tiger” coming August 2021.
Austin-based musician Bob Schneider released the first single, "Lord of the Flies," last Friday, April 2nd via Shockorama Records and Soundly Music. This is the first single off the forthcoming album In A Room Full of Blood with a Sleeping Tiger available everywhere on August 27th, 2021.
Inspired by the suicide of Anthony Bourdain in the midst of extremely divided United States, Schneider turned inward to reflect on the world around him and what brought him happiness. Described as his “Kurt Vonnegut song,” the narrator of the song who appears lost and confused about his journey through life, still believes in love and maybe that’s the thing that makes all of this worthwhile and bearable.
Referred to as the "King of the Live Music Capital of the World," Schneider is a relentless performer with a loyal and dedicated fan base. His powerful lyrics tackle tough subjects about alienation, drug addiction, and lost romance. In A Room Full of Blood with A Sleeping Tiger, is a 12 song album that takes you on a musical journey through the narrator’s life from boyhood to adulthood.
