About the Artist

Formed in York in 1990, Shed Seven quickly rose to prominence during the vibrant Britpop era. Their debut album, 'Change Giver' (1994), introduced the world to their distinctive blend of jangly guitars, soaring vocals, and catchy melodies. It was their second album, 'A Maximum High' (1996), however, that truly propelled them into the mainstream, spawning massive hit singles such as 'Going for Gold', 'Chasing Rainbows', and 'Where Have You Been Tonight?'. The album reached number eight in the UK charts and remains a cornerstone of 90s indie music.

Over the years, Shed Seven have navigated the changing tides of the music industry, releasing a string of successful albums including 'Let It Ride' (1998), 'Truth, Myth and Lies' (2001), and 'The State of Things' (2017), which saw them achieve their highest chart position to date, reaching number five. Their latest offering, 'Aterdays' (2024), has been met with widespread critical acclaim, proving their enduring appeal and ability to craft vital, contemporary indie anthems. Frontman Rick Witter's charismatic stage presence and the band's tight musicianship have always been central to their live appeal.
