SHAME (FRI)
UK
The act who NME suggested “may well be the best band in the UK” earlier this year, SHAME are putting a raucous swagger back into British guitar music. Heavily influenced by post-punk legends The Fall, the London-based five-piece inject a raw and visceral edge into their politically charged indie rock, winning rave reviews for both their debut album Songs of Praise and their searing live shows. Frighteningly good.
