UK rockers delivered high energy chaos & precision in NYC
UK post-punk firebrands Shame tore through Warsaw in Brooklyn with the kind of high-flying, barely-contained energy that’s become their calling card. The setlist pulled liberally from across their catalog — touching on Songs of Praise, Drunk Tank Pink, and Food for Worms — but leaned most heavily on last year’s Cutthroat, which landed with extra bite in a live setting. Frontman Charlie Steen was in full magnetic-command mode, prowling the stage, baiting the crowd, and steering the chaos with rambunctious confidence. It was sweaty, confrontational, and electric — a reminder that Shame remain one of the most thrilling live bands in their lane right now. Go ahead and scroll through the highlights below.
