Perspective
Shame have repeatedly renounced their origin to be above the Queen's Head pub in Brixton, where Charlie Forbes' Dad coined the term for the band's name.
Shame released their debut album Songs of Praise on 12 January 2018 through Dead Oceans, and it was met with critical acclaim. The record currently holds an aggregated score of 83 based on 20 reviews.[4] The album peaked at number 32 on the UK Albums Chart and remained on the chart for two weeks.
In late January 2020, NME reported that Shame was working on their second studio album and that recording had been complete.[5] On 18 November 2020, the band confirmed that their second studio album, entitled Drunk Tank Pink, would come out 15 January 2021, a little more than three years after their debut album.[6] In December 2020, Shame released the single "Snow Day" with an accompanying visualiser from their second album Drunk Tank Pink.[7]
In November 2022, in correlation with their single "Fingers of Steel", their third album was announced, and the singles "Six-Pack" and "Adderall" were released before it came out. The album, Food for Worms, was released on 24 February 2023.[8]
In May 2025, Shame announced that their fourth album, Cutthroat, will be released on 5 September 2025. The album’s eponymous lead single and an accompanying music video was released along with the announcement.[9]
