SHELF LIVES

Artist

ShelfLives_240218_DB_0435.jpg

“It's as close to real life as you can get without feeling really depressed about it,” Sabrina offers by

way of summarising Shelf Lives – the London-based electro-punk outfit she fronts alongside

guitarist/producer Jonny. Much like this point in time, the duo’s music feels chaotic, tense, and wired.

Pairing hardcore punk’s brief blasts of energy with electroclash’s minimal and sleazy sonics, they

raise themes of societal collapse and hyper-consumerism with a warped smile. 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, in their own words, “the fucked up seem fun.”
