Shame ‘Cutthroat’ Single Review: Post-Punk With a Devilish Edge ★★★★☆

1 min read

London-based post-punk legends Shame are back, bringing with them their latest furiously powerful single entitled Cutthroat.

Cutthroat is the title track off of their upcoming fourth album of the same name. Known for innovating on post-punk trends with every release, Cutthroat sees the band bring a catchiness to the genre that’s often unheard of. 

Vocalist Charlie Steen continues to deliver his beloved cutting lyrics accompanied by his perfectly aggressive delivery. 

Lyrics like “I was born to die”, and the chorus of “Do what you want to do” are bound to get stuck in your head for days.

Cutthroat is non-stop, unapologetic and unwaveringly Shame, it’s a joyride you never want to end and just when it does you’re left begging for more.  


Cutthroat isn’t the most experimental song Shame have ever released, but it’s a great first offering of their ever evolving sound.
