Cardiff\u2019s own punk-powered firecrackers Panic Shack<\/strong> are back at it, and this time they’re emptying out their frustrations\u2014and their pockets\u2014in one last burst from their debut album \u2018Panic Shack\u2019 out now via Brace Yourself Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their latest single, Pockets<\/em><\/strong>, is a punchy, chant-heavy anthem that immediately grabs you by the collar with its shouted intro: \u201cVAPE! PHONE! KEYS! LIP GLOSS!\u201d<\/em> If you\u2019ve ever worn women\u2019s clothing, you already know the crime against fashion we’re talking about\u2014no damn pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pockets<\/em> isn\u2019t just a fun, bouncy punk track (though it definitely is that), it’s a rallying cry. The band takes a very real and maddening issue\u2014pocket inequality\u2014and wraps it in their signature sass, humour, and social smarts. As the band explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201c’Pockets’ is about an unspoken bond between women, something men will never quite understand… It\u2019s a fun, tongue-in-cheek song in classic Shack style, describing something a bit silly but with a deeper social commentary on a bigger issue: inequality and patriarchal control.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The track comes with a video directed by Ren Faulkner that stitches together footage from their packed-out Don\u2019t Quit Your Day Job<\/strong> tour across the UK this past spring. It\u2019s chaotic, sweaty, and infectious\u2014just like their live shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
