British post-punk band shame are releasing a new album, Cutthroat, on September 5 via Dead Oceans. Now they have shared its second single, “Quiet Life,” and announced some new North American tour dates. Check out the Pedro Takahashi-directed “Quiet Life” video below, followed by all the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Shame is Charlie Steen, guitarists Sean Coyle-Smith and Eddie Green, bassist Josh Finerty, and drummer Charlie Forbes.

Steen had this to say about the new song in a press release: “‘Quiet Life’ is about someone in a shitty relationship. 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.”

Previously they shared its title track accompanied by a video. “Cutthroat” was one of our Songs of the Week.

Steen previously summed up Cutthroat like so: “It’s about the cowards, the cunts, the hypocrites. Let’s face it, there’s a lot of them around right now.”

Cutthroat follows 2023’s Food For Worms. Read our interview with shame on Food For Worms here.
