Fresh off their sold-out tour and right before their debut album Panic Shack drops on 18 July, Cardiff’s favourite chaos merchants return with ‘Thelma & Louise’ – a love song, but make it platonic, punk, and packed to the sunroof with feminist joy.
Panic Shack have always known that the most meaningful relationships in your life aren’t necessarily romantic – sometimes they’re just four sweaty best mates in a Vauxhall Corsa, screaming down the M4 with matching tattoos and a glovebox full of snacks. This track bottles that feeling. It’s sweet, it’s punchy, it’s as catchy as nits in Year 7.
There’s a Go-Go’s sparkle under the grit, and a shout-out to the kind of ride-or-die friendships that make everything feel electric. Think ‘Holiday Road’ re-routed through a Cardiff punk basement. And yes, there’s a video – and yes, it bangs.
