UK Post-Punk Trio Shopping Checks Out Permanently
After 13 exhausting years of post-punk pandemonium, the UK trio Shopping has sadly decided 'to take our last spin through the aisles.' They broke the news on Instagram last week, leaving fans wondering if this is a band break-up or just an elaborate shopping metaphor nobody asked for. Despite their decade-plus career, it turns out even indie bands can’t escape aisle fatigue. Apparently, the trio’s final sale is a quiet goodbye, proving that in music and retail, all good things must come with diminishing returns.

Shopping announces it's done after 13 years. Guess even indie bands can't escape the soul-crushing checkout line of existence. We’re all terrible drivers of our own lives, but apparently Shopping finally pressed 'Exit' on aisle forever.
Shopping calling it quits after 13 years is proof you can’t indie rock your way out of life’s never-ending errand list. No forever memberships, folks, just forever waiting for the bus.
Thirteen years of Shopping and they’re finally done? Sounds like the ultimate 'empty cart' situation. Even punk bands eventually realize you can’t punk your way around adulthood’s closing hours.
