Shake Shake Go
Anthemic indie folk with a raspy, powerful vocal core. Big acoustic choruses and driving rhythms that feel like a long drive toward a fresh start.

Shake Shake Go is a London-based indie folk trio that emerged during the tail end of the global folk-pop resurgence. Formed in 2012, the band is led by the powerful, raspy vocals of Poppy Jones, supported by guitarists Virgile Rozand and Kilian Saubusse.
They achieved significant commercial success with their 2014 single 'England Skies', which became a massive hit across Europe and established their sound: a blend of anthemic acoustic arrangements, driving percussion, and emotionally resonant lyrics. Their career arc shows a steady evolution from busking-inspired folk anthems on 'All In Time' to more nuanced, indie-pop narratives on 'Double Vision'. They occupy a cultural space between the earnestness of Mumford & Sons and the pop-forward sensibilities of artists like Of Monsters and Men. Critically, they are noted for their high-energy live performances and Jones's vocal range, which allows them to bridge the gap between intimate folk settings and large-scale festival stages. Their influence web connects British folk traditions with modern European pop production.
