“The extroverted electro-punk duo we need right now.”
- NME
Shelf Lives
Chaotic, tense, and wired is how London duo Shelf Lives describe their sound. Pairing hardcore punk’s brief blasts of energy with electroclash’s minimal and sleazy sonics, they raise themes of societal collapse and hyper-consumerism. The result taps into headspace that’s as rotten as it is dopamine-flooded, with pent-up frustration and pop hooks tossed together in a way that makes, as they put it, ‘the f**ked up seem fun.’
