Cornershop are a British indie band formed in Leicester in 1991 by Wolverhampton-born Tjinder Singh (singer, songwriter, and dholak 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. [1][2] 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.

Topknot kinda sank without trace but it's my favourite song of theirs, it's mesmerizing. If you don't know it go get it!

@themoop - you're absolutely spot on. Handcream for a generation is right at the top of my "best underrated" album list

Whoa, how did I not find out about 'Judy Sucks a Lemon for Breakfast' until 3 minutes ago (I utilised those 3 minutes to purchase it off eBay)?!

Tjinder Singh reminds me of Julian Casablancas from The Strokes a bit. Good band though!

Can't someone write a proper biography? The existing one is an advertisement from the band's own website

"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.
