November 18, 2020 SHAME ANNOUNCE LONG-ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM, DRUNK TANK PINK, out JANUARY 15TH ON November 18, 2020 For Immediate Release SHAME ANNOUNCE LONG-ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM, DRUNK TANK ​ PINK, OUT JANUARY 15TH ON DEAD OCEANS ​ WATCH THE VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “WATER IN THE WELL” ​ ​ Photo Credit: Sam Gregg Today, shame announce their long-anticipated new album, Drunk Tank Pink, out ​ ​ ​ ​ January 15th on Dead Oceans. In conjunction, they present a new single, “Water in ​ ​ the Well,” with an accompanying video directed by Pedro Takahashi. There are ​ ​ ​ moments on Drunk Tank Pink where you almost have to reach for the sleeve to check ​ ​ this is the same band who made 2018’s Songs Of Praise. Such is the jump shame have ​ ​ made from the riotous post-punk of their debut to the sprawling adventurism laid out in the bigger, bolder James Ford produced follow-up. ​ ​ This creative leap, in part, was sparked by the band’s recent crash back down to earth, having spent their entire adult life on the road. It stems from their beginnings as wide-eyed teenagers, cutting their teeth in the pubs and small venues of South London, to becoming the most celebrated new band in Britain, catapulted by the success of their breakthrough debut album. Readjusting to a new normal back home with - for the first time since the band’s formation - no live shows on the horizon, frontman Charlie Steen ​ attempted to party his way out of psychosis. An intense bout of waking fever-dreams convinced Steen that self medicating his demons wasn’t a very healthy plan of action and it was probably time to stop and take a look inward. “You become very aware of yourself and when all of the music stops, you’re left with the silence,” reflects Steen. “And that silence is a lot of what this record is about.” In a small room painted in a shade of pink used to calm down drunk tank inmates, Steen cocooned himself away to reflect and write. In the room dubbed “the womb,” he addressed the psychological toll life in the band had taken on him. The disintegration of his relationship, the loss of a sense of self and the growing identity crisis both the band and an entire generation were feeling.“The common theme when I was catching up with my mates was this identity crisis everyone was having,” reflects Steen. “No one knows what the fuck is going on.” “It didn’t matter that we’d just come back off tour thinking, 'How do we deal with reality!?’” agrees guitarist Sean Coyle-Smith. “I had ​ ​ mates that were working in a pub and they were also like, ‘How do I deal with reality!?’ Everyone was going through it.” Coyle-Smith took a different tac to Steen and barricaded himself in his bedroom. Barely leaving the house and instead obsessively deconstructing his very approach to playing and making music, he picked apart the threads of the music he was devouring (Talking Heads, Nigerian High Life, the dry funk of ESG, Talk Talk…) and created work infused with panic and crackling intensity. “For this album I was so bored of playing guitar,” he recalls, “the thought of even playing it was mind-numbing. So I started to write and experiment in all these alternative tunings and not write or play in a conventional ‘rock’ way.” The genius of Drunk Tank Pink is how Steen’s lyrical themes dovetail with the music. ​ ​ Previously released opener “Alphabet” dissects the premise of performance over a ​ ​ siren call of nervous, jerking guitars, its chorus thrown out like a beer bottle across a mosh pit. Nigel Hitter, meanwhile, turns the mundanity of routine into something ​ ​ spectacular via a disjointed jigsaw of syncopated rhythms and broken wristed punk funk. The result is an enormous expansion of shame’s sonic arsenal.

This song, like, this band, is a treat.” - Jezebel ​ "[‘Alphabet’ is] a surging, discomfiting track with a sneakily catchy chorus. It comes with a video directed by Tegen Williams and delving into that unnerving dream world imagery that first inspired Steen when writing the song.” - Stereogum ​ "[‘Alphabet’ is] a surging and thrashing rocker that reminds us what was so great about the group in the first place.” - Uproxx ​ "’Alphabet’ is armed with full-throttle momentum, and frontman Charlie Steen’s direct yet playful vocal inflection.” - Paste ​ Drunk Tank Pink Cover Artwork ​ Shame Online: https://twitter.com/shamebanduk https://pitchperfectpr.com/shame/ https://www.instagram.com/shame/ https://www.facebook.com/shamebanduk/ For more information, contact: Jacob Daneman | Pitch Perfect PR - [email protected] ​ ### .

    VEGA og smash!bang!pow! præsenterer Det er en skam ikke at opleve Shame i VEGA En britisk tornado af rendyrket DYI-postpunk har kurs direkte mod Lille VEGA den 29. oktober, når den anmelderroste femkløver i Shame sætter vildskaben fri. De unge musikere fra Brixton opsteg på rekordtid i 2017 fra undergrunden i London til de internationale scener, hvor de tog publikum og anmeldere med storm. Med fandenivoldske og utæmmelige energiudladninger af primalskrig og skærende guitarriffs, har Shame opbygget et ry som et af Storbritanniens bedste livebands. Den 15. januar udgiver Shame deres andet studiealbum, Drunk Tank Pink. Med de nye sange guider kvintetten lytteren gennem nye afkroge af deres enorme, musikalske talent. På singlen ”Alphabet” vikler komplekse trommerytmer sig ind et i melodisk net af dansable guitariffs, der tilsammen skaber en eklektisk fusion af punk og funk. Hvor debutalbummet er rendyrket, oprørsk postpunk dykker bandet på det kommende album ned i større og mere sprudlende produktioner i samarbejde med produceren James Ford (The Last Shadow Puppets, Depeche Mode, Foals). Energien er stadig på sit højeste, men lydbilledet og teksterne har taget et spadestik dybere ned i eftertænksomheden. Siden debutalbummet, Songs Of Praise, udkom tilbage 2018, har de unge musikere turneret nonstop i hele verden. For forsanger Charlie Steen katapulterede den længere pause ham ud i en dyb identitetskrise, hvilket albummet i høj grad handler om. Charlie Steen fortæller: “You become very aware of yourself and when all of the music stops, you’re left with the silence,” reflects Steen. “And that silence is a lot of what this record is about.” Fakta om koncerten Shame (UK) Fredag den 29.
