Shelf Lives Stir Controversy and Creativity with New Single ‘Uncle Fred’

Indie rock’s daring duo, Shelf Lives, is back and continues to shake the music scene with their audacious storytelling. Their latest single, ‘Uncle Fred’, delves into the complexities of religious affection and the chaos it can wreak on one’s psyche. The release of this provocative track comes on the heels of their critically-acclaimed EP ‘You Okay?’ and precedes a headline show that’s set to captivate audiences at Moth Club, London on 23rd October.
- The band muses on the possibility of a priest named Fred grappling with an intense, paradoxical love for Jesus, stirring a mix of inner conflict and emotional chaos.
- The single is a deep dive into taboo territory, exploring the intersections of faith, love, and identity—a subject rarely tackled in modern music.
It certainly could have happened, and Shelf Lives isn’t afraid to venture into the conversations it might spark. Be prepared to immerse yourself in a soundscape that is as challenging as it is catchy.
Don’t miss your chance to experience Shelf Lives live. Alongside the release of ‘Uncle Fred’, they’re slated to electrify audiences at 2000trees and other venues this summer. It’s more than a gig—it’s an invitation to be part of a conversation that few dare to start.
