Shame have shared new single ‘Quiet Life’ ahead of the release of new album ‘Cutthroat’ – an album ‘about the cowards, the cunts, the hypocrites. Let’s face it, there’s a lot of them around right now’ – on 5 September via Dead Oceans.

‘Quiet Life’ is a rockabilly punk song about someone who’s in a toxic relationship that they just can’t break free from: ‘I never thought I’d want a quiet life until you came my way’; ‘I’m a coward, don’t you know it?’. Think of a more freewheelin’ Bright Eyes mixed with The Cramps and you’re halfway there. The song also has a biting wit that sums up the person’s conundrum: ‘Before you came around, I had a lot more laughs and a lot more pounds’
