Interview Progress Report: Shame

It’s been over a year since South London quintet Shame released their jaw-dropping debut ‘Songs Of Praise’ back in January 2018 and, tbh, we’re ready for some new songs to scream along to.

When we caught up with them in November last year, they’d already debuted one newbie ‘Human, For A Minute’ at their recent shows and were setting aside time to fully start work on album two. “We’re still very much figuring out, not what we wanna do, but we’re playing around with things,” explained Sean at the time. “We’re batch cooking songs,” joined Forbes. “Slow-roasting different ideas,” added Josh, “and then when we get time off they’re just gonna… Pew! Pew! Pew!”

The “Pew! Pew! Pew!” seems to have fast approached, with the group debuting six new songs at last week’s End Of The Road festival (‘Another’, ‘Alphabet’, ‘Cowboy’, ‘Human’, ‘Exhaler’ and ‘March Day’). With a homecoming performance taking place at this Saturday’s Goose Island Hop Party, we hopped on the phone with Charlie and Eddie to find out more.
