Shame announce new album Cutthroat and Irish dates

Shame have announced the release of their upcoming album Cutthroat, out September 5 via Dead Oceans. They also announced new tour dates, including shows in Dublin’s National Stadium on November 12 and Cork’s Cyprus Avenue on November 13.

Cutthroat was created in collaboration with Grammy winning producer John Congleton. “It’s about the cowards, the cunts, the hypocrites,” says vocalist Charlie Steen. “Let’s face it, there’s a lot of them around right now.”

To accompany the announcement, Shame released the new video for the album’s title track, directed by Ja Humby.

Check it out below:

Commenting on the album, Steen continued: “This is about who we are. Our live shows aren’t performance art - they’re direct, confrontational and raw. That’s always been the root of us. We live in crazy times. But it’s not about ‘Poor me.’ It’s about ‘Fuck you’.”

On top of their newly announced Irish headline gig, Shame are set to play the opening slot for Wunderhorse’s August 19 and 20 dates in Collin’s Barracks, Dublin.

Tickets for Shame’s Dublin and Cork dates go on sale this Friday, June 6 here.
