About
Acerbic Melbourne post-punk with a DIY spirit. The Shifters are a five-piece band from Melbourne, Australia, known for their distinct blend of jittery post-punk and DIY pop. Their sound is characterized by a mix of conversational vocals, repetitive riffs, and a shambolic yet deliberate energy that draws comparisons to The Fall and other icons of the late-70s independent scene.\n\nSince their formation, the group has become a staple of the Melbourne underground, releasing music through labels like Trouble in Mind and Digitalis. Their discography, including albums like 'Have a Go' and the singles collection 'Open Vault,' showcases a range of influences from skeletal folk to noisy garage rock, all delivered with a wry, observational wit.
