UK post-punk firebrands Shame are making their way Down Under, stepping in as support for Fontaines D.C. on their upcoming Australia and New Zealand tour. The London five-piece have also announced their own headline gigs in Sydney, Melbourne, and Wellington.
Once hailed by The Guardian as “2018’s angriest, shoutiest young British guitar band,” Shame have undergone a seismic shift in sound with their latest album, Food for Worms. A breakneck blend of raw emotion and sonic experimentation, the record sees the band shed their post-punk roots for something altogether more expansive.
Produced by legendary studio maestro Flood (known for his work with U2, PJ Harvey, and Nick Cave), Food for Worms channels a gritty, unfiltered energy that captures both the chaos and catharsis of Shame’s evolution. Packed with sharp lyrical insight and unexpected melodic twists, the album sees the band forging a bold new path, blending raw intensity with moments of delicate introspection.
