Panic Shack announce debut EP ‘Baby Shack’
Listen to new single ‘Mannequin Man’ now.
Set for release on 8th April on Brace Yourself Records, Cardiff’s Panic Shack have announced their debut EP ‘Baby Shack’.
Sharing new track ‘Mannequin Man’ alongside the news, the band say, “‘Mannequin Man’ is a song we wrote about a guy we met in London who works as a literal, real-life mannequin. We were so impressed by his mannequin impersonation that we wrote the song about him on the megabus home the next day. Contrary to popular belief there is no deeper meaning to MM although you can take from the lyrics what you will.”
Accompanied by a new video, they add, “the video was filmed during the height of Covid so unfortunately we couldn’t get to London and decided a green screen was the next best thing. Concept-wise, we picked a theme and ran with it (no pun intended) doing what we do best (punching and shouting) in front of a camera. It was shot in about an hour and edited by our good friend Ren Faulkner all the way back in March 2021. A slight problem we’ve come to r
ealise is that we all change our hairstyles so frequently we look unrecognisable. But will we stop? No.” Check it out below.
‘Baby Shack’ EP Tracklisting:
1. I Don’t Really Like It
