Shame Announce Debut LP 'Songs Of Praise', Drop New Video For "One Rizla"

South London post punk/indie rock band Shame have announced the release of their debut full-length album titled 'Songs Of Praise'.

The 10-track record will be out on January 12th via Dead Oceans. Pre-order your copy here.

Comprised of vocalist Charlie Steen, guitarists Sean Coyle-Smith and Eddie Green, bassist John Finerty, and drummer Charlie Forbes, they 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 “Gold Hole,” a tongue-in-cheek takedown of rock narcissism, to lead single “Concrete” detailing the overwhelming moment of realizing a relationship is doomed, to the frustrated “Tasteless” taking aim at the monotony of people droning through their day-to-day, Songs of Praise never pauses to catch its breath.

The band have also aired the video for the album track "One Rizla". Watch it below the tracklist.
