Out today, ‘Bite’ from blistering, boisterous electro-punk duo Shelf Lives.

“It’s about the battle between your awake spiritual brain that is trying its best to be a better person and to let go of its pride, and catching yourself going back to that angry monkey brain,” the band explains – “That’s why it’s called ‘BITE’, because it’s the most primitive thing we can do when we feel scared.”

This pair blew our minds at LOUD WOMEN Fest last year – catch them live whenever you can! (Tour dates below …)
