Brett Emmons is stepping into more personal territory with Cabin Fever, the new album from his solo project John Shambles.
Released April 30, the album sees the The Glorious Sons frontman move away from the band’s arena-ready rock sound in favour of something looser and more stripped down, blending folk, garage rock and lo-fi alternative influences.
Songs like “Fool In The Woods,” “Landmines,” “Try Not To Freak Out” and “New Friends” lean into raw, unpolished songwriting while exploring anxiety, isolation and self-reflection.
In a recent interview with SWOMP, Emmons dove into the inspiration behind the project.
John Shambles has continued building momentum with recent live shows, including a sold-out performance at Mod Club in Toronto.
SWOMP also caught Emmons during his May 9, 2026 show at London Music Hall.
