Taken from their highly anticipated debut album, out today via Brace Yourself Records, Panic Shack have unveiled the high octane video to the record's final taster, Pockets. Of the track, the band explain: "'Pockets' is about an unspoken bond between women, something men will never quite understand. If you’ve ever worn women’s clothing, you’ll be far too familiar with the plight of… NOT HAVING ANY POCKETS IN YOUR CLOTHES. It’s 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. We had never heard the topic in a song before so thought it was our duty to spread the word to the masses. Hopefully fashion brands take note and pockets production will make it to women’s clothing by 2026, we are fed up of always having to carry a bag!!!" The band now kick off a release week run of UK in-stores with a double release day show at Cardiff's Sustainable Studios alongside a pop-up Panic Shack shop running there during the daytime. Later this week, they'll visit stores including Rough Trade East in London and Resident in Brighton. Full tour dates and the video can be found below.
