“fuck no, homie don’t shake” — from the opening lines of their new single, “Homie Don’t Shake”, there’s no mistaking the irreverent musings of Fcukers’ Shanny Wise. Delivered over a groove-heavy bassline punctuated by distorted guitar riffs courtesy of producer, bassist and keys player Jackson Walker Lewis, and backed by bouncy, peak-time percussion from drummer Ben Scharf — it’s a perfect encapsulation of the sound the much-hyped trio have been cultivating for the past year and half. Instantly recognisable to anyone who has attended a Fcukers live show show in recent times the single comes with the announcement of their forthcoming debut EP, ‘Baggy$$’ — set for release on Ninja Tune’s Technicolour imprint — and follows a whirlwind 18 months for the band in which they have carved out a fierce and growing reputation as one of the most exciting acts operating out of NYC today.

Lauded for their headline live shows — usually announced last-minute, often spread via word of mouth alone, and always sold-out — Fcukers have quickly accumulated a growing number of notable fans including Beck, Julian Casablancas, Yves Tumor, Clairo, Dom Dolla and Matt Wilkinson; who described them as “possibly the most in-demand band in New York at the moment”.
