From the pubs of South London to the big leagues, Shame have come a long way. We’re delighted to have them back on the cover of Dork for our new March 2023 issue, out tomorrow (10th February).
With their new album ‘Food For Worms’ imminent, they’re a band honing their sound, playing with humour and promising there really is a cameo from Phoebe Bridgers on the album. Honest, there is!
Shame are the second act we’re revealing for our March 2023 issue, following our Gorillaz cover announcement earlier this week. We’ve one more cover act to come later today, plus a line-up of exciting new music, interviews, reviews, and general ‘stuff’ to fill your month.
The new issue of Dork will drop on Friday, 10th February. You can pre-order the Shame edition of Dork here, or pre-order of the Gorillaz edition of Dork here and it’ll ship before the end of the month, or subscribe and get the print edition sent directly to your door every month here.
