The Shabs Unleash Folk Punk Anthem with “Mayors Of This Town” Video and European Tour Announcement
Cape Town-born folk-punk heroes, The Shabs, are set to ignite the music scene once again as they drop the highly anticipated video for “Mayors Of This Town.” Known for their blend of sincere, melodic sing-along folk and the raw, rebellious spirit of punk rock, The Shabs have carved a unique niche for themselves in the global music landscape.
Having originally emerged from the vibrant South African punk scene, The Shabs now call the UK home, and their journey has been one of relentless touring and spirited performances. Over the past decade, they’ve crisscrossed South Africa and Europe, leaving a trail of fervent fans in their wake. Their music, often described as honest, raw, and easy to relate to, draws inspiration from the likes of PUP, Frank Turner, Erik Petersen, and Against Me.
The Shabs’ discography includes their debut album, “Folk is Dead” (2016), the split album “Deja View” with SA folk punk legends Rambling Bones (2018), and their second full-length album, “Can You Hear Us At The Back” (2019). Despite facing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the band utilized the downtime to craft their third album, “Half Dead,” and have already released two stellar singles, “Mom Was Wrong” and “Mayors Of This Town,” both accompanied by successful European tours.
