Cage the Elephant’s latest single, “Out Loud,” is the sound of a band growing up. The group wrote the tune after the death of the father of brothers Matthew Shultz (vocals) and Brad Shultz (guitar) and the song, an elegiac piano ballad, finds them making sense of their regrets. “Man, I really messed up now,” Matthew croons. “Too afraid to say it out loud.” The tune makes for a preamble of sorts for the group’s upcoming sixth album, Neon Pill — due out May 17 — which was written following the...

Cage the Elephant have confirmed the release of their new album, Neon Pill, along with an extensive North American tour.
Neon Pill, the band’s sixth full-length album, arrives on May 17th via RCA Records. Spanning 12 tracks, the album was recorded following a series of traumatic events, including the deaths of several close family members and friends (including Matthew and Brad Shultz’s father), as well as Matthew’s mental health breakdown.
“To me, Neon Pill is the first record where we were consistently uninfluenced, and I mean that in a positive way,” Matthew said in a statement. “Everything is undoubtedly expressed through having settled into finding our own voice. We’ve always drawn inspiration from artists we love, and at times we’ve even emulated some of them to a certain degree. With this album, having gone through so much, life had almost forced us into becoming more and more comfortable with ourselves.

Singer Matt Shultz of the Grammy-winning rock band Cage the Elephant, was arrested in New York City after police discovered two loaded firearms in his room at the Bowery Hotel.
Shultz was hit with two charges of criminal possession of a weapon. He did not have a license for the two firearms, reports Variety.
An employee at Bowery saw the singer carry a handgun into the public restroom on the ground floor of the Lower Manhattan hotel on Wednesday night, per Daily Mail.
Police responded to a 911 call and knocked on Shultz’s door on Thursday morning to recover the weapons, a Sig Sauer and a Smith & Wesson.
Shultz spent the night at the 9th precinct in Lower Manhattan.
Cage the Elephant is a two-time Grammy winner for best rock album, taking home trophies for both 2015’s ‘Tell Me I’m Pretty’ and 2019’s ‘Social Cues’. The band’s 2013 album.

It is a long rock & roll tradition: writing songs about the high price of success in exhaustion, sanity and lasting relationships. Modern-rock stars Cage the Elephant take a turn on Social Cues, their fifth studio album. And the bill comes due with a vengeance. “I was promised the keys to an empire,” singer Matt Shultz claims in the opening garage-rock sprint “Broken Boy.” But he is already lost and fried in the next track, the title song. “I don’t have the strength to play nice,” Shultz admits against a...

Beck and Cage the Elephant are setting out on a co-headlining tour this summer, and now it’s got a theme song: Their collaboration “Night Running,” which shares a name with the tour, is the latest single from Cage the Elephant’s upcoming album Social Cues (due out April 19th).
“Night Running” is a thick, sticky tune with a dub-reggae vibe that Cage frontman Matt Shultz and Beck eagerly sink their teeth into, singing and rapping about vampires and x-ray vision. Beck, who co-wrote the song, has been making faded...

Matt Shultz could make it through only one take. The lead singer of the Kentucky rock band Cage the Elephant was recently in the studio recording “Goodbye,” a John Lennon-inspired ballad Shultz wrote for his wife as their seven-year relationship was ending. Shultz delivered it lying on the studio floor. Afterward, he walked out and canceled the next two weeks of work.
“There were times like that,” says his brother, guitarist Brad Shultz. “We’d think he was getting back to normal, then he would melt down.” Admits Matt of those sessions,...
