“VAPE, PHONE, KEYS, LIPGLOSS”… but nowhere to put them? Yep, that’s a punk issue.
Hailing from Cardiff, the five-piece punk/indie rock band Panic Shack is back with their new single “Pockets,” released on July 15, 2025, sparking a rebellion that’s both hilarious and thought-provoking.
The song is a raw take on the universal frustration of women dealing with zero-pocket jeans, playing like a true punk anthem: short, sharp, direct, and undeniably justified.
👜 “Pockets” – Fashion, you say? Shall we fight the lack of function?
“No nooks, no dips, not a cranny or a crevice to be seen…”
“VAPE, PHONE, KEYS, LIPGLOSS!”
These lyrics aren’t just a song; they’re the sound of a generation’s stolen pocket freedom.
The absence of functional pockets in women’s clothing becomes, in Panic Shack’s hands, both a comedic and political issue. Because this isn’t just about fashion—it’s about turning an overlooked experience into a collective outcry.
🎯 Why Listen?
Because some songs aren’t just listened to—they’re shouted in unison.
“Pockets” starts as a fashion critique and evolves into a collective sigh of relief about the unseen details of the female experience. And yes, it’s hilarious. Because it’s true.
