  • Cornershop are a British indie band formed in Leicester in 1991 by Wolverhampton-born Tjinder Singh (singer, songwriter, and guitar), 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.

  • Cornershop est un groupe de rock britannique formé à Leicester en 1992 par Tjinder Singh (chanteur, compositeur, joueur de dholaki), né à Wolverhampton, son frère Avtar Singh, David Chambers et Ben Ayres. Les trois premiers étant des ex-membres de General Havoc un groupe de Preston qui avait sorti un single (Fast Jaspal) en 1991. Le nom du groupe fait référence au stéréotype de l'immigré Indien en Angleterre qui possède souvent une petite boutique, l'échoppe du coin de la rue (équivalent de « l'Arabe du coin » en France). Leur musique est un mélange de musique indienne, de rock britannique indépendant et de musique électronique.
