# Fcukers

Fcukers is an American electronic band formed in New York City in 2022. It consists of Shannon Wise and Jackson Walker Lewis. In 2023, they released their debut single "Mothers". Their debut EP entitled Baggy$$ was released in 2024 through Ninja Tune's Technicolour Records imprint.

## History

After five years with Spud Cannon, Jackson Walker Lewis and Ben Scharf decided to leave the band, seeking to move beyond what Scharf described as "some nimby kimby indie rock bullshit", which they "grew out of". By October 2022, the duo began experimenting with house music and Lewis invited vocalist Shannon Wise, former frontwoman of The Shacks. They were introduced by a mutual friend while Wise was bartending, and Lewis subsequently shared an early instrumental version of "Homie Don't Shake", which the band later developed into a full track. Wise accepted, explaining she was "over indie shit" and wanted to explore "beats or dubstep." Wise later clarified that she "[didn't] really want to hang [shit] on anyone's music. It's all just music and expression", further indicating that she wished Scharf hadn't made the comment about indie rock, saying: "I don't feel that way—I like indie rock. I don't feel that way at all." In an interview with NME, members of the band claimed to have toured with Snail Mail and Speedy Ortiz, though this was called out as inaccurate by Sadie Dupuis from Speedy Ortiz.
In March 2023, Fcukers played their debut show at Baby's All Right and released their first single, "Mothers". Later that year, they collaborated with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem on a remix of "Los Angeles" by Lol Tolhurst, Budgie, and Jacknife Lee. By May 2024, the group signed with Ninja Tune's Technicolour Records imprint, which released their single "Bon Bon" that same month. In July, they announced their debut EP entitled Baggy$$ and released a new single, "Homie Don't Shake". The track samples Beck's 1996 song "Devils Haircut", which they had previously covered as "Devils Cut", and it was featured on Pitchfork's "11 Songs You Should Listen to Now". In August, they followed up with another single, "Tommy". Baggy$$ was officially released in September through Technicolour. In December, Fcukers released a remix of "Marmite" by Porij.
In late 2024, Scharf left the band to return to school and pursue a doctorate degree. Lewis said that Scharf had been "kind of along for the ride", and that he and Wise had been working in the studio without Scharf, as he was "never a studio member."
