Shame performing at Liverpool Sound City 2019 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Shame have been on social media to confirm the recording of their second album is complete.
The follow-up to debut Songs Of Praise could well prove to be one of highlights of the year after the band took their time before working on an album which was one of Live4ever’s top picks of 2018.
“Hearts on sleeves is an approach wide open to patronising, centrist-Dad odes to caution, but in answer raspy lead singer Charlie Steen growls during the anthem-to-be One Rizla “you choose to hate my words/but do I give a f**k”, in doing so making a statement, not asking a question,” our review reads.
“Steen and the rest of band’s hubristic veneer is a feint, but each song is a concise journey into their minds, from the psychological contortions thrown up on Concrete to The Lick’s sleazy, hilarious strip club blues, the catchphrase “relatable, not debateable” telling the gushing, bearded tech-tards that their possessions are f***ing as well as owning them.”
