About Cornershop

Cornershop, formed in Leicester in 1991 by singer-songwriter Tjinder Singh and multi-instrumentalist Ben Ayres, is a pioneering British band known for its groundbreaking blend of Indian musical traditions, British indie rock, and danceable pop. Their name deliberately challenges the stereotype of Indian-owned corner shops in the UK, reflecting their multicultural identity and commitment to social commentary. Early in their career, Cornershop fused punk energy with Bollywood melodies, hip-hop rhythms, and glam rock influences, crafting a distinctive and evolving sound.

Their commercial breakthrough arrived with the 1997 album "When I Was Born for the 7th Time," featuring the hit single "Brimful of Asha." This tribute to legendary Indian playback singer Asha Bhosle became a UK number-one hit after renowned producer Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook) remixed it into a mainstream sensation. The success of this track propelled Cornershop onto international stages, including supporting Oasis on their American tour.

Apart from their musical innovation, Cornershop have been outspoken activists, notably opposing racism and criticizing controversial imagery associated with indie figures like Morrissey. Their versatility shines through side projects such as the disco-oriented Clinton and later albums like "Urban Turban" and the politically charged "England Is a Garden" (2020). Singh and Ayres also run the Ample Play label, fostering neo-psychedelic artists and extending their cultural influence. Over decades, Cornershop’s fusion of rich cultural sounds and political engagement has secured their lasting impact on the global music scene.
