Jan 14, 2018Two weeks into 2018 and I'm sure this album will be one of my favourites of the year. Best post-punk release I've heard in a long time.

Jan 13, 2018Solid, consistent and full of political and social messages. A post-punk blast that will never fail to grab your attention a single minute, especially if you're a fan of rock music

Jan 29, 2018One of the best post-punk albums releases in recent years. A masterpiece made perfectly above all in the sound and also the social and political messages are good mixed with the usual grit and classic aggression of the british punk bands. This album will be one of the higlights of this 2018.

May 29, 2018Solid debut that is unlikely to stick in the memory beyond being one of the first good cabs off the rank in 2018.

Feb 27, 2018One of the best post punk albums in recent years. joy division, the fall, sex pistols, the clash roots are apparent in their music but yet they are a new lease on music!

Jul 23, 2018Songs of Praise has a good post-punk essence. An album full of energy and with a lot to offer.

Aug 21, 2019Was my album of the year for 2018. It's powerful and authentic. There are a lot of Post Punk bands coming out - some of them pretty fake (Idyls) some pretty amazing -these guys and Fontaines DC- for me, the difference is in an ability to write and to believe in what you do write not play dress-up

Dec 16, 2019Same old, same old.
At least, if you're bad, try and be original.
I'm Glad I didn't pay to listen to it.

Oct 5, 2018If the post-punk revival needs a poster child, Shame is a good choice.
-
Feb 20, 2018Despite Shame’s lyrical foibles, they evince a prodigious adeptness for musicianship, and though Songs of Praise isn’t the most arresting debut by a garage band, there are far worse places to start.

Feb 20, 2018Songs of Praise is a modern, sneering punk explosion that adds up to more than a sum of its parts.
