About Me

Hello Friends & Fans! Thanks for checking out our music. I'm sure everyone gets tons of random requests from bands, so we really appreciate people taking the time to listen and comment back. This site is run by the band members & our manager, so feel free to send us messages/comments, we do see them and will respond. (We'll also comment back if you ask us to, for real.)Blind Shame is a young, high-energy modern-rock band from Detroit that delivers cranium-etching leads over fuzzy guitar riffs, alongside infectious lyrics released with genuine enthusiasm.Drawing influences from an unlimited source of rock, punk, pop and emo bands, Blind Shame has developed a distinct sound that exemplifies modern rock radio. With countless shows since their inception in 2003, this well-seasoned, yet fresh, young band is sure to hook listeners with a performance that is both musically and visually unforgetable. Blind Shame leaves the fans always wanting more and coming back again and again.
