Transatlantic punk duo Shelf Lives (aka Sabrina Di Giulio and Jonny Hillyard) are one of the most exciting finds of the week. Based in London, these two musicians create an energising style of sound that is refreshingly raw and captivating.

New single ‘All The Problems’ addresses themes of masculinity, and how society can coerce us into hiding or neglecting our true feelings and emotions.

“To be vague about it, ‘All the Problems’ is a casual chat about the suppression of emotions, specifically among those who identify as males and what it could lead to as a result. The track goes through the motions of seeking a reason behind the resulting rage and offsets extreme, sometimes violent, acts with the World’s passive and unsettling way of dealing with them. There’s nothing casual about the topic and events itself, yet, socially we’ve reached a ridiculous, dangerous place where we feel like in order to survive we need to be.  Essentially, so we can… “get on with our day”.

To date, Shelf Lives have received praise from the likes of BBC Radio 1, Introducing and 6 Music, as well as NME, The Line of Best Fit, Notion Magazine and The Independent. Be sure to catch this emerging duo live in a city near you – tour dates are listed below.
