Shame is a British post-punk band that has garnered significant attention since stepping onto the music scene with their vibrant energy and bold sonic identity. Originating from South London, the group formed in 2014 and consists of vocalist Charlie Steen, guitarists Sean Coyle-Smith and Eddie Green, bassist Josh Finerty, and drummer Charlie Forbes. Their music is characterized by sharp guitar riffs, propulsive rhythms, and Steen's confrontational vocal style, weaving together themes of societal observations, personal experiences, and political commentary.
The band's early releases like "Gold Hole" and "The Lick" quickly established their presence in the punk sphere, but it was their debut album, "Songs of Praise," released in 2018, that propelled them to new heights, earning critical acclaim and solidifying their position as one of the UK's most exciting new bands. Subsequent releases like "Drunk Tank Pink," which contained a more introspective look at the self amidst chaotic post-punk structures, further showcased the band's evolution in both sound and lyrical depth. Their relentless touring and electrifying live shows, as captured in "Live In The Flesh", have only added to their growing reputation, allowing Shame to cultivate a passionate fanbase eager for the band's exploration of the genre's possibilities. With their most recent release, "Food for Worms," Shame continues to push the boundaries of post-punk, constantly redefining their artistry and challenging the expectations of their audience.
