Shame get in the festive spirit with Feliz Navidad cover

If Christmas really does come earlier every year, Shame are one band who can be forgiven for getting in the festive spirit with plenty of time to spare.

For pretty much all of 2018 they’ve had one of the year’s best albums tucked safely under their arms, and as the winter months draw in they’ve kept the cheer going with a cover of the 1970 track Feliz Navidad by José Feliciano. Tuck in below.

Live4ever called out Songs Of Praise at the first opportunity too, writing that we wouldn’t like to be ‘as pushy as calling this the earliest possible contender for album of the year – and yet, we are‘ in our review:

“Because back in the times before the sneering old men robbed the nineties born of their art, their dole and their dignity, there were a load of bands that made the Northern industrial wastelands what they were, a habitat of dry post-romantic articulation set to music that Metropolitanism couldn’t fathom or give a f**k about.”

“Wilson would be ecstatic to hear Songs Of Praise though, final proof that the chaos, ethics and brittle self-esteem of a landslide he began can now grow anywhere. Shame have just brought everyone a little closer to each other.”
