Shame at the Bristol Theka. April 2018. (Jessica Bartolini / Live4ever)
Shame helped to kick off the latest series of Later…With Jools Holland last night.
The band performed One Rizla live on the BBC as part of the show which also had appearances from Snow Patrol and Plan B.
Shame will soon be taking their debut album Songs Of Praise into the summer festival season, an album which Live4ever described as ‘the earliest possible contender for album of the year‘:
“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.”
