Cornershop

Cornershop is an innovative British indie rock band that blends elements of Indian music, Britpop, and electronic dance music. The band was formed in 1991 by lead vocalist and guitarist Tjinder Singh along with his brother Avtar Singh, David Chambers, and Ben Ayres. Their sound is characterized by a rich mélange of Western rock music and traditional Indian sounds including sitar, tabla, and other Indian instruments.

The band rose to prominence in the mid-1990s with critical acclaim for their album "When I Was Born for the 7th Time," which featured the global hit "Brimful of Asha." The track brought them mainstream success, especially after the release of a remixed version by Norman Cook, also known as Fatboy Slim, which skyrocketed to the top of the UK Singles Chart. Over time, Cornershop has continued to experiment with various musical styles, maintaining a loyal fan base with a discography that includes the likes of "England is a Garden" and their lively EP "Hold the Corner." Their versatility and commitment to fusing cross-cultural sounds have cemented them as a notable and enduring act in the alternative music scene.
