"With his wild gaze, devilish grin and mix of self-deprecation and swagger, Charlie Steen is one of rock's most compelling young figures, and he's more than ready to get back out there." -- GQ
"Shame, the boys in bloom, deliver on crafting an entry into the lacking friendship album canon -- so put it on with your closest circle, get emo, and also let yourself dance and laugh with abandon."
-- Alternative Press
shame were tourists in their own adolescence - and nothing was quite like the postcard. The freefall of their early twenties, in all its delight and disaster, was tangled up in being hailed one of post-punk's greatest hopes. In 2018, they took their incendiary debut album Songs of Praise for a cross-continental joyride for almost 350 relentless nights. They tried to bite off more than they could chew, just to prove their teeth were sharp enough - but eventually, you've got to learn to spit it out. Then came the hangover. shame's frontman, Charlie Steen, suffered a series of panic attacks which led to the tour's cancellation. For the first time, since being plucked from the stage of The Windmill and catapulted into notoriety, shame were confronted with who they'd become on the other side of it.
