Cornershop is a British indie band formed in Leicester in 1992 by Wolverhampton-born Tjinder Singh (singer, songwriter, and dholaki player), his brother Avtar Singh (bass guitar, vocals), David Chambers (drums) and Ben Ayres (guitar, keyboards, and tamboura), the first three having previously been members of Preston-based band General Havoc, who released one single (the “Fast Jaspal EP”) in 1991.
The band name originated from a stereotype referring to British Asians that they often own street corner stores. Their music is a fusion of Indian music, British indie rock, and electronic dance.
In the early 1990s, when popular singer Morrissey was being vilified by the UK music press (particularly the NME) for refusing to deny that he was a racist, the band burned a picture of the singer outside the offices of EMI.
Debut single, the “In The Days of Ford Cortina EP” was a blend of Indian-tinged noise pop, the sound mellowing somewhat by the release of debut album proper “Hold On It Hurts” in 1994. David Chambers left the band in 1994, the band re-emerging in 1995 with the acclaimed “6 a.m. Jullander Shere” single and the album “Woman’s Gotta Have It”.
The departure of Avtar Singh around the end of 1995 led to a major line-up change, with Anthony Saffery (sitar, keyboards and harmonium), Nick Simms (drums) and Peter Bengry (percussion) joining.

"Handcream for a generation" was the most fun and clumsy British pop album in years, and "Judy sucks" will be a great great companion. Without a doubt, one of the most underrated bands of the past decade.

Great band, right from the early days and onwards. When I Was Born For the Seventh Time is a classic album. Woman's Gotta Have It doesn't get the recognition it deserves. That Norman Cook remix always wound me up. Slow it down and let the song actually shine through, I say.
