Shame: Rock Band in New York

About Shame

Shame is a five-piece post‑punk band from South London, formed in 2014 and linked to the Windmill scene’s guitar-first circuit. Their live shows emphasize tight ensemble playing, clipped rhythm work, and forward motion over ornament. In New York City they’ve appeared at the Knitting Factory, including a Fashion Week bill shared with local rock/pop songwriter Ben Doctor. The pairing placed their U.K. lineage beside direct, hook-led songcraft in a room built for volume and pace.
