Shame playing Dr Martens Boot Room in London (Alberto Pezzali for Live4ever)
It’s a welcome return to Songs Of Praise and Shame‘s time touring their stunning debut album in North America on a new video for Lampoon.
‘The earliest possible contender for album of the year‘ was how Live4ever brought our Songs Of Praise review to a conclusion; “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.”
