On 14 February 2018, The Shacks was a guest on Chris P Cuts. The Shacks has been played on NTS shows including Chris P Cuts, with This Strange Effect first played on 22 November 2017.

Fronted by 19-year-old singer/bassist Shannon Wise and 21-year-old guitarist/producer Max Shrager, The Shacks are already well on their way to becoming a big sensation, and their remarkable debut album, ‘Haze,’ solidified their status as a band with ability to deliver on the well-deserved buzz. When Max and Shannon met in high school, a bond was created that has permeated their music since the Shacks first incarnation four years ago. That chemistry lies at the heart of ‘Haze,’ a record so hypnotic and seductive that it feels more like a whispered late-night secret than a young band’s debut.
