UK post-punk band shame is set to release their fourth studio album, 'Cutthroat', on September 5th, following their previous work 'Food for Worms'. The album features 12 new tracks produced by John Congleton. Frontman Charlie Steen explains the album's theme, highlighting a stark critique of societal hypocrisy and a raw, confrontational approach reminiscent of the band's live performances. The lead single, also titled 'Cutthroat', blends arrogance and insecurity, inspired by the paradoxical nature of Oscar Wilde's plays, emphasizing that life shouldn't be taken too seriously.
It's about the cowards, the cunts, the hypocrites. Let's face it, there's a lot of them around right now.
It's driven by hunger for something better. For something you've been told you don't deserve. It's primal. It's raw. It's unapologetic.
Our live shows aren't performance art - they're direct, confrontational and raw. That's always been the root of us.
I was reading a lot of Oscar Wilde plays where everything was about paradox. In 'Cutthroat,' it’s about the idea that 'Life's far too important to be taken seriously.'
