Shame thrives on confrontation. Whether it be the seething intensity crackling throughout debut LP 'Songs of Praise' or the adrenaline-pumping chaos that unfolds at Shame's shows, it's all fuelled by feeling. Comprised of vocalist Charlie Steen, guitarists Sean Coyle-Smith and Eddie Green, bassist John Finerty, and drummer Charlie Forbes, the London-based five-piece began as school boys. From the outset, Shame built the band up from a foundation of DIY ethos while citing The Fall and Wire among its biggest musical influences. Utilising both the grit and sincerity of that musical background, Shame carved out a niche in the South London music scene and then barreled fearlessly into the angular, thrashing post-punk that would go on to make up 'Songs of Praise', their Dead Oceans debut. From 'Gold Hole', a tongue-in-cheek takedown of rock narcissism, to lead single 'Concrete' detailing the overwhelming moment of realising a relationship is doomed, to the frustrated 'Tasteless' taking aim at the monotony of people droning through their day-to-day, 'Songs of Praise' never pauses to catch its breath.
