UK Punk Band Shame Share “Tasteless” Video

Shame has shared a new music video to their single "Single."

2016 saw South London five piece Shame make a stand to attention with their critically acclaimed, breathlessly unhinged punk rock and wildly unbound live shows, but 2017 is the year that they finally take their place in the vaulted British rock and roll firmament.

The band now share the video for the snarling anthem “Tasteless”(head to i-D to check out), directed by lead singer Charlie Steen alongside Lou Smith. In Steen’s own words: In Steen’s own words: “There always seems to be comfort in the collapsed, the constant pursuit for oblivion. What we portray is the detachment from what we have created ourselves, the willingness to destroy and demean it through stabbing, spray painting and eventually burning. All for one man’s slight amusement. It is a comment on removing oneself from thought and reasoning and accepting how nothing is truly permanent, nothing is completely original and only by understanding this can progression be made. The only boundary being reality itself, something many tend to avoid.”

Shame continue to cement themselves as a must see live act, beginning a full UK headline tour this Saturday. It is a testament to their thrilling reputation that they already have 50+ dates confirmed this year.
