Panic Shack kick the door down on debut album with lead single ‘Girl Band Starter Pack’ 

Panic Shack have unveiled that their self-titled debut album will hit shelves on 18th July via Brace Yourself Records,  having teased the announcement in March with comeback single ‘Gok Wan’.

The project will act as a follow up to the Cardiff four piece’s 2022 EP ‘Baby Shack’, and promises to be a wide-ranging exploration of everything from dating app culture to sexual harassment. Introducing the record proper is lead track ‘Girl Band Starter Pack’ - a pacy, punchy slice of garage-punk that takes its title from the band’s former Spotify “inspiration playlist”.

Explaining more about the new single, Panic Shack have shared: “it’s had many deaths and rebirths but has been with us since the start, so it’s quite special to us. Not only because we’ve watched it morph into a certified banger (it was once named ‘Banger Potential’) but because it personifies our friendship and the electricity we feel when we’re together, whether that’s creating, playing or simply just grabbing a coffee … which as the song foretells, usually leads to a voddy.”
