Shame playing Dr Martens Boot Room in London (Alberto Pezzali for Live4ever)
Shame‘s debut album should get 2018 off to a good start with its release date of January 12th confirmed.
Songs Of Praise contains tracks such as the driving post-punk brilliance of early single Gold Hole, the more recent but equally powerful Concrete, and brand new single One Rizla whose video, which is below, takes its theme directly from the LP’s artwork. Frontman Charlie Steen explains:
“We wanted to turn the album artwork into the video for ‘One Rizla’, highlighting our vulnerability as individuals whilst paying homage to Withnail & I simultaneously. The song is honest and raw, whilst attempting a stab at number one in the pop charts across the eastern hemisphere.”
Shame will start a UK tour on April 6th 2018 in Liverpool, and press on from there to Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham and Leicester.
