Shame thrives on confrontation. Whether it be the seething intensity crackling throughout debut LP Songs of Praise or the adrena-line-pumping chaos that unfolds at Shameâ€™s shows, itâ€™s all fueled by feeling. NPRâ€™s Bob Boilen noted, â€œOf the 70 bands I saw at this yearâ€™s SXSW, the band Shame seemed to mean what they played more than any other.â€Comprised of vocalist Charlie Steen, guitarists Sean Coyle-Smith and Eddie Green, bassist John Finerty, and drummer Charlie Forbes, the London-based five-piece began as school boys. From the outset, Shame built the band up from a foundation of DIY ethos while citing The Fall and Wire among its biggest musical influences.Utilizing both the grit and sincerity of that musical background, Shame carved out a niche in the South London music scene and then barreled fearlessly into the angular, thrashing post-punk that would go on to make up Songs of Praise, their Dead Oceans debut. From â€œGold Hole,â€ a tongue-in-cheek takedown of rock narcissism, to lead single â€œConcreteâ€ detailing the overwhelming moment of realizing a relationship is doomed, to the frustrated â€œTastelessâ€ taking aim at the monotony of people droning through their day-to-day, Songs of Praise never pauses to catch its breath.
