Shame flirted with new wave on the Cutthroat title track last month. Now the English post-punks are back with a rockabilly banger for the second single "Quiet Life."
“‘Quiet Life’ is about someone in a shitty relationship," vocalist Charlie Steen says. "It’s about the judgment they receive and the struggle that they have to go through, trying to understand the conflict they face, of wanting a better life… but being stuck.”
The band has also announced North American tour dates for next year. "Quiet Life" comes with a music video directed by Pedro Takahashi and produced by FRIEND. Check it out below along, with all of their upcoming shows.
