Background notes

Archive material and source history

Shack formed in Liverpool in 1986 around brothers Michael and John Head, with Peter Wilkinson and John Hartley. Their debut album 'Zilch' came out in 1988, followed by 'Waterpistol' in 1991. The band broke up that same year but reunited in 1996.

After reforming, they released albums like 'H.M.S. Fable' in 1999 and 'Joyride' in 2003. Songs like 'I Want You' and 'Soldier Man' show their mix of jangly guitars and folk-tinged melodies. Michael Head's vocals and lyrics give their music its particular character.

They've put out six studio albums total. While they've had periods of inactivity, their recordings from different eras continue to find listeners who connect with the straightforward emotional pull in tracks like 'Natalie's Party' or 'Pull Together'.
