The album itself, described by the band as ‘the Lamborghini of Shame records’, covers ground and pushes boundaries which certainly never seemed likely when the opening riffs of tracks like ‘One Rizla’ first spilled forth back in 2018. Indeed, it is staggering to see just what the band have managed to achieve in less than half a decade (one which featured a global pandemic no less!) and the truly exciting fact is that Shame on record is such a small part of the overall picture.
The live environment is not only where their recorded output makes most sense, as is the case with many bands, it serves as an opportunity for Shame to construct another beast entirely. We would go as far as to say that Shame are the most underrated live band in Britain at the moment.
They are currently partway through their tour for ‘Food For Worms’ which sees them joined by Tampa rap due They Hate Change (yet another example of how the band are more forward-thinking and far less genre-bound than many of their contemporaries) with the remaining dates shown below:
March
7th - Leadmill, Sheffield
8th - Invisible Wind Factory, Liverpool
9th - SWX, Bristol
11th - New Century Hall, Manchester
12th - Tramshed, Cardiff
April
28th - Brixton Academy, London
