The quintet met in school and formed Shame in 2014 while still in their teens. A family connection led them to practice at the Queens Head, a gritty Brixton pub that was also home to Fat White Family.
Gigs with that band, the Garden, and Slaves led to an appearance at 2016s Pitchfork Music Festival Paris; later that year, Shame released their debut single The Lick/Gold Hole on Fnord Communications. In 2017, the band signed with Dead Oceans and released the singles Tasteless, Concrete, and Visa Vulture, a commentary on Prime Minister Theresa Mays stance on immigration. That year, Shame recorded their debut album, Songs of Praise, at Wales Rockfield Studios; the album arrived in early 2018.
