shame have released new single 'Quiet Life' ahead of their September album and world tour
London band Shame release rockabilly-influenced single 'Quiet Life' about toxic relationships, ahead of their John Congleton-produced album 'Cutthroat'.

shame are teasing their album 'Cutthroat', set for release on 5th September via Dead Oceans, with new single 'Quiet Life'.
The track follows the album's title track and sees the London-based band exploring rockabilly influences reminiscent of The Gun Club and The Cramps. "'Quiet Life' is about someone in a shitty relationship," vocalist Charlie Steen explains. "It's about the judgment they receive and the struggle that they have to go through, trying to understand the conflict they face, of wanting a better life… but being stuck."
The new album, produced by Grammy winner John Congleton, marks a creative evolution for the five-piece. "It's about the cowards, the cunts, the hypocrites," says Steen. "Let's face it, there's a lot of them around right now."
Guitarist Sean Coyle-Smith incorporated electronic elements into the band's sound, bringing together his previous separate creative endeavours. "This time, anything could go if it sounded good and you got it right," he notes.
The band, comprising Steen, Coyle-Smith, Eddie Green, Josh Finerty, and Charlie Forbes, recorded the album at Salvation Studios in Brighton, exploring themes of conflict, corruption, desire, and cowardice.
