Shame have shared the latest taster of their upcoming third album ‘Food For Worms’, ‘Six-Pack’.
“’Six Pack’ is essentially the opposite of a Room 101,” the band’s Charlie Steen explains. “Instead it’s a room where all your wildest desires can come true and will be showered upon you. Be it commodities, self-obsession, foods and B-lister celebrities, it’ll all be there if you want it to. You’ve done time behind bars and now you’re making time in-front of them. It’s time to make up for anything you’ve lost or wasted, it’s time to get it all.”
The track is accompanied by a new video directed by Gilbert Bannerman and animated by Cyrus Hayley. “The idea was to make a parody of a middle aged bloke thinking he’s a king for going to the gym once,” Gilbert says. “I read a lot about Napoleon and thought it would be a laugh to make it about him. The style comes from trying to make my youth spent playing PS1 not entirely wasted”.
‘Food For Worms’ is set for release on 24th February. The band have also announced tour dates for the UK, Europe and North America this year. Fans can see Shame live at the following dates:
