'Post Punks' featuring Shackleford

News by AndyHoldcroft, 10 Apr 2025


For those like me anticipating the new album from Nuneaton's melodic punks Shackleford, there is interim relief in the form of two tracks from them on a 10" album called ‘Post Punks' on Council-Pop Records alongside brace of songs from each of Pizzatramp, Healer of Bastards and The Atoms.

 Their pair are named "Carol" and "Pepto": the former is an account in music of how they accidentally consumed the entirety of the rider intended for Carol Decker (of T'Pau) at a gig they both played.

Much as I'd like to review the tracks for you, I'm afraid I only know their names: the album is a limited vinyl release only (there are only 21 of the pressing of 300 left at the time of writing) via the label's Bandcamp page:
