Whether it be the\nseething intensity crackling throughout debut album\n‘Songs Of Praise’ or the adrenaline-pumping chaos\nthat unfolds at Shame’s shows, it’s all fuelled by\nfeeling. NPR’s Bob Boilen noted, “Of the 70 bands I\nsaw at this year’s SXSW, the band Shame seemed to\nmean what they played more than any other.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComprised of vocalist Charlie Steen, guitarists Sean\nCoyle-Smith and Eddie Green, bassist John Finerty and\ndrummer Charlie Forbes, the London-based five-piece\nbegan as school boys. From the outset, Shame built\nthe band up from a foundation of DIY ethos while\nciting The Fall and Wire among their biggest musical\ninfluences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtilizing both the grit and sincerity of that musical\nbackground, Shame carved out a niche in the South\nLondon music scene and then barrelled fearlessly into\nthe angular, thrashing post punk that would go on to\nmake up ‘Songs Of Praise’, their Dead Oceans debut.\nFrom ‘Gold Hole’, a tongue-in-cheek takedown of rock\nnarcissism, to lead track ‘Concrete’ detailing the\noverwhelming moment of realizing a relationship is\ndoomed, to the frustrated ‘Tasteless’ taking aim at the\nmonotony of people droning through their day-to-day,\n‘Songs Of Praise’ never pauses to catch its breath.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49978250199282,"sku":"DOC144CD","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/SharedImage-78172.jpg?v=1787660194","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/songs-of-praise-cd","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
