UK post-punk five piece Shame have announced headline dates of Australia and New Zealand. The band will step in to replace Wunderhorse in support of Fontaines D.C. on their forthcoming tour as well as headline performances in Sydney, Melbourne and Wellington.
Originally hailed by The Guardian as “2018’s angriest, shoutiest young British guitar band” Shame’s most recent release Food for Worms is a sonic departure from anything they’ve done before. It careened and crashed into life faster than anything the band had created previously: a weapon-grade cocktail that captured all the gristle and fragility that earned them their merits.
Produced by Flood (U2, PJ Harvey, Nick Cave) the album sees shame abandon their post-punk beginnings for far more eclectic influences, drawing from the tense atmospherics of Merchandise, the sharp yet uncomplicated lyrical observations of Lou Reed and the more melodic works of 90s German band, Blumfeld.
New Sounds Magazine reflected recently that Shame has “risen their heads above the parapet of post-punk pyrotechnics,” with their live shows evolving from “entertaining to unmissable.” Let that serve as a warning.
