Shame Announce Debut LP 'Songs Of Praise', Drop New Video For "One Rizla"

South London post punk/indie rock band Shame have announced the release of their debut full-length album titled 'Songs Of Praise'.

The 10-track record will be out on January 12th via Dead Oceans. Pre-order your copy here.

Comprised of vocalist Charlie Steen, guitarists Sean Coyle-Smith and Eddie Green, bassist John Finerty, and drummer Charlie Forbes, they began as school boys. From the outset, Shame built the band up from a foundation of DIY ethos while citing The Fall and Wire among its biggest musical influences.

Utilizing both the grit and sincerity of that musical background, Shame carved out a niche in the South London music scene and then barreled fearlessly into the angular, thrashing post-punk that would go on to make up Songs of Praise, their Dead Oceans debut. From “Gold Hole,” a tongue-in-cheek takedown of rock narcissism, to lead single “Concrete” detailing the overwhelming moment of realizing a relationship is doomed, to the frustrated “Tasteless” taking aim at the monotony of people droning through their day-to-day, Songs of Praise never pauses to catch its breath.

The band have also aired the video for the album track "One Rizla". Watch it below the tracklist.

Songs Of Praise track list:
01. Dust On Trial
02. Concrete
03. One Rizla
04. The Lick
05. Tasteless
06. Donk
07. Gold Hole
08. Friction
09. Lampoon
10. Angie

Watch: Slowdive Premiere "Don’t Know Why" Music Video

British shoegaze/dream pop band Slowdive have premiered the video for their dreamy single "Don’t Know Why".

The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from the band's self-titled new album, which came out back in May via Dead Oceans. Grab your copy here.

The clip was directed by Grant Singer, who explains: "This video is less about logic and more about a feeling. It’s a triptych about memory, about being lost and abandoned. Slowdive has been my favorite band since I was a kid. To say that making this video was surreal would be an understatement. Their music has been this gift—this friend that stays with me always and gets better over time. Hearing their new album left me speechless. So having the opportunity to make something for them is an honor that I don’t take for granted."

The song is taken from their debut album 'Ride Your Heart', released back in April via Dead Oceans.

About the clip (which was directed by the two sisters) Jennifer said: "Halloween and October are my favorite time of year so I was excited when I realized we had a month to put together a rad B-Horror style music video before Halloween gets here! So with the help of some amazing friends, and taking inspiration from our girl sunbathing in the graveyard shirt we got it all together. We made it past the obstacles like getting kicked out of our first filming location, leaving the next morning for our Europe tour, editing it on the road in the van, and keeping it all pretty DIY. Xoxo".
