Songs of Praise by Shame is a 10 track journey through the grimey South London alleyways of grunge, hardcore and pop. Punk is best served young, and the barely post-pubescent lads wield their youth like a weapon. Influenced by Eddy Current Suppression Ring and The Stone Roses, Shame take you on a voyage without steering too far from the spit and snarl. Frontman Charlie Steen growls through phrases repeated again and again like a post punk hymn of frustration. Yet their anger is nothing new and Shame don’t consider themselves special. Songs of Praise is just a group of smart arses letting off some steam.
