Shed Seven are a U.K. alt-rock combo who first gained notice in the mid-'90s at the height of the Brit-pop boom. Their melodic, post-Smiths sound and energetic live shows helped turn them into a reliable hit-making act. Following their debut album, Change Giver, they notched a string of hits like "Getting Better," "Ocean Pie," and "Going for Gold." By the decade's end, they were no longer signed to a major and went on to release one more album, 2001's Truth Be Told, before disbanding. A 2007 reunion and a live BBC album sparked renewed interest in Shed Seven, though it was another decade before they returned to the studio. 2017's Instant Pleasures was a Top Ten hit and the band kept the ball rolling with a 2024 follow-up, A Matter of Time.
