Post-punks Shopping return with their spiky new single 'The Hype', out on November 17 via FatCat Records - the first new material from the London trio since their 2015 album, 'Why Choose?'
The band describe it as "a wake up call to action that says don't believe everything you hear, always question whats presented to you and don't just sit around and think about making change before it's too late."
Rachel Aggs (guitar/vocals) adds: "But it's also a party song! We liked offsetting the serious, dead-pan lyrics with the relaxed yet self-assured funk of the song itself, we had a lot of fun writing it - it has a guitar solo and everything! I always wanted to do a song with a drum and bass breakdown section where the guitar drops out too, I find that part so satisfying.”
Shopping head out on an extensive European tour in November, including five UK dates.
