Shelf Lives

Shelf Lives are a dynamic Canadian-British post-punk group based in London, making waves with their fresh approach to the genre since their formation in 2021. The band have crafted a distinctive sound that draws on post-punk’s raw energy while infusing their own contemporary edge, resulting in a catalogue that stands out within the UK’s thriving live music scene. Their forthcoming debut album, hypernormaL, is highly anticipated ahead of its scheduled release in February 2026 and follows a prolific run of singles and EPs.

Recent gigs include a headlining performance at BUDfest 2026 at The New Adelphi Club in Hull, where Shelf Lives demonstrated their commanding stage presence and affirmed their reputation as a formidable live act. This presence extends to collaborative line-ups as well—in September 2026, the group are set to appear as a support act at THE GATHERING SOUNDS in Stockton-on-Tees, sharing the bill with headliner OVERPASS and an array of emerging artists. They will also headline an intimate show at Downstairs at The Dome in London, giving their dedicated following another chance to experience their energetic set in close quarters.

Shelf Lives’ growing discography includes the singles “Where Did I Go?”, “Uncle Fred”, and “All the Problems”, as well as the 2024 EP No Idea.
