Background notes
Archive material and source history
Cornershop formed in Leicester in 1991, with Tjinder Singh on vocals and guitar, David Chambers on bass, and Ben Ayres on drums. Their music pulled from Bollywood and psychedelic rock, creating something that didn't fit neatly into existing categories.
In 1997, the single "Brimful of Asha" became their breakthrough, reaching the UK Top 20. That song's mix of Indian melodies and Western pop anchored their album "When I Was Born for the 7th Time." Other tracks like "Good Shit" and "Sleep On The Left Side" showed their range.
Over time, they worked with figures like Indian singer Asha Bhosle and Wu-Tang Clan's Method Man. Their lyrics often touched on race and cultural identity, which sometimes drew criticism. They've released albums steadily, including "Handcream for a Generation" in 2002 and "England Is a Garden" in 2016.
