They made themselves known to the general public in 2015 with the release of their title "England Skies" certified diamond single throughout the world, and by supporting the likes of James Blunt in the UK (including a concert at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall) and Rodrigo y Gabriela in France.
Their first album "All In Time" received an unanimously positive reception with tens of millions of streams and impressive charts in thirty countries.
The band travelled across Europe for a tour of more than 80 concerts which ended in Tahiti after a sold-out Cigale in Paris.
Carried by the singles "Dinosaur" and "Come Back To Me”, their second album "Homesick" was released in 2018 followed by a tour of more than 60 concerts across Europe finishing at Sziget Festival.
After several years of composing in their native UK and under the warm Spanish sun, the band Shake Shake Go returns in 2023 with their third offering and most captivating album to date "Double Vision", an indie-pop narrative of depth and emotion.

Shake Shake Go Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you and me
We were fish in the sea
And I was happy
And I was free
Floating weightless in the deep
So maybe we should be
From everyone we know
And everything we made
But darling don't be scared
'Cause some things never change
And anywhere we go
I'll love you all the same
Come, let's sail away
I found the best place
I found the place dreams are made
Where everyday
The summer rays
They dance like diamonds in the waves
So maybe we should be
A million miles away
From everyone we know
And everything we made
But darling don't be scared
'Cause some things never change
And anywhere we go
I'll love you all the same
I'm thinking about you
I'm thinking about you
I'm thinking about you
I'm thinking about you, yeah-ey
So maybe we should be
A million miles away
From everyone we know
And everything we made
But darling don't be scared
'Cause some things never change
And anywhere we go
I'll love you all the same
Maybe we should be
A million miles away
From everyone we know
And everything we made
But darling don't be scared
'Cause some things never change
And anywhere we go
I'll love you all the same
