The Baby Seals Reveal “I Will Panic If I Want To Shirley”

Following acclaim for last year’s debut album Chaos, and a recent tour with new wave legends Bow Wow Wow, Cambridgeshire garage-punks The Baby Seals recently released the fierce Tamoo Trance and are now sharing a perfectly chaotic new video for the accompanying double A-Side of the 7″ single, I Will Panic If I Want To Shirley, just in time for the festive frenzy we all know and love / feel heaps of anxiety about. Alongside the video, the track is available to download from Bandcamp, and is also available on a special 7″ double A-side single which also features Tamoo Trance. 

Inspired by an MOT-related incident experienced by drummer Amy, the track rages against how ridiculous it is that we have to be worrying about things like MOTs at a time when we’re witnessing a 1.5 degree increase of global temperature and live streamed genocides, and seeing the eradication of protest rights, abortion rights, trans rights, and human rights generally. It’s a reassurance that it’s actually ok if you want to have a panic every so often: fucking go for it, why shouldn’t we?!
