A excellent new young band - Huw Stephens, Radio 1.
Jerky, quirky, yelpy, post-grunge punk from Essex. Every song is a potential single. - Planet Beet RadioThe Vixen 14th Oct 07
The Shame were setting up I remember thinking I in for somethin strange
and not knowing why. I'd never heard of them and onstage they looked menacingly and excitingly different. They just have a air about them. Lets just say when they play they split the pub. I damn near shit myself. They sounded like Alvin, Simon and Theodore on relentless and speed, with generators up their asses. Absolutely bonkers in the best possible way. To me they sound like what would happened if The Blood Brothers had grown up in Essex listening to Dillinger Four and fighting wild animals for their dinner. Desperate, vital and weird, they thrashed, stamped and swated through their set with explosions of mad keybroad noise and occasional chants of completely mental lyrics, literally without mercy. They just didn't care if you thought they sounded a bit strange because they fucking owned your soul. The Hardcore guys stared in disbelief, the old men wept into their ale and wierdo's cheered and sang and dibbled. At last, a local(ish) band with the madness of old Screwy Magoo, the looks of a police lineup in a circus and the defining sound of apocalyptic bizzarro punks new wave revolution. I had to sit down after that one. They also gave out free CD's. BonkersThe Adventurers JournalThe Hope & Anchor 1st Aug 2006
The Shame are up next and come battering straight in with their crazy, manic sound. Drums are everywhere and anywhere - the vocal screeches out and guitar and bass drive away incessantly. Some songs do have catchy moments, jumping out of the crazy cacophony and giving the listener something to get a handle on. Mostly this is fast paced, bordering on break neck speed, stuff. Some songs stop and start angrily. This is clever, tight and well rehearsed stuff that may annoy some but others will love it.Neon Promotions.

Trashy, punky, but somehow not quite either. The excellent The Shame bring to mind, The Blood Brothers and Melt Banana in the fore but have a heap of other influences thrown into the mix for good measure
