Shed Seven
Britpop icons Shed Seven have announced they'll return to The Barrowlands on Thursday 26th October as they celebrate their 30th anniversary and ahead of their new album release!
About Shed Seven
Part of the Britpop explosion, Shed Seven were formed in York in 1990 from the ashes of the band Brockley Haven. Comprised of vocalist Rick Witter, bassist Tom Gladwin, guitarist Joe Johnson and drummer Alan Leach, they entered several local Battle of the Band competitions and were signed to Polydor Records in 1993. Around the same time, Johnson left the group and was replaced by guitarist Paul Banks.
Shed Seven’s debut double A-side Mark/Casino Girl came out in early 1994 and was followed by Dolphin, which cracked the UK’s top 30 singles chart. The success of their third single Speakeasy led to TV appearances that greatly increased their profile.
By the end of 1994, Shed Seven's debut studio album Change Giver was released. Featuring a series of unapologetically upbeat rock songs, it peaked at No.16 on the UK albums chart and spawned the hits Where Have You Been Lately? and Ocean Pie.
Inspired by bands like The Smiths, Blur, Oasis and Morrissey, Shed Seven were also praised for their own sound, which showcased structured guitar melodies and soaring vocals.
In 2023, Shed Seven announced their first studio album in more than six years with the release of A Matter Of Time set for 12 January 2024. The album will come out in the band's 30th anniversary year, and will follow a major headline tour planned for autumn 2023.
