Cardiff five-piece Panic Shack have released a new single, ‘Meal Deal’, alongside new 2023 UK tour dates

Panic Shack have shared their latest single, ‘Meal Deal’, with a new music video featuring footages from the studio.

It is their first release since April’s ‘Baby Shack’ EP, which you can revisit here. The new track was written in 2020 and recorded at Rat Trap studios alongside Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard’s Tom Rees. It arrived today, October 13th, via Brace Yourself Records.

On ‘Meal Deal’, the band share: “It was once almost an ode to the meal deal, declaring our love for our favourite combos, but since then we’ve got a bit more to be angry about and are annoyed that meal deals are still all we can afford.”

The single is accompanied by a Ren Faulkner-directed music video, including studio footage and recording trips to stock up on studio sustenance.

"We wanted the video to be rough and ready much like the sound of the song; it also gave us a few extra pennies to go towards the sandwich, crisps and drink combo that we love dearly,” Panic Shack have revealed. “Being absolutely skint is pretty bleak: the message speaks for itself so we didn’t want to dwell on that. We wanted to capture the fun we have when we’re together, to contrast what we’re talking about in the song (because god knows we need a break from the doom and gloom in the news). We hope you enjoy spending a few minutes behind the scenes on Planet Shack. (P.s don’t judge the Red Bulls.)"
