The Shits

The Shits, hailing from Leeds, have carved a distinctive place within the UK punk landscape through a raw, unvarnished sound and a succession of uncompromising releases. Their discography includes full-length albums such as Punishment (2020) and the gritty follow-up You’re a Mess (2023), culminating in their latest record Diet of Worms, set for release in April 2026. The band’s catalogue also features earlier EPs like Drink Your Blood and Crawl Through Dirt, offering a window into their evolution as one of the North’s most compelling punk groups.

Live music fans have seen The Shits sharing the stage at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, where they supported New York noise rock luminaries UNSANE in April 2026. Their presence as a support act on such a bill attests to their growing reputation within underground circles and their ability to bring raw intensity to any venue. Well known for their energetic gigs and unfiltered approach, The Shits have cultivated a dedicated following in the UK’s thriving punk scene.

Later in September 2026, The Shits will headline the SMASH it OUT all-dayer at The Windmill in Brixton, further cementing their reputation for commanding live performances.
