Shame go for a mild indie pop rock sound that neither has the bite of its Windmill counterparts nor is it supported by grand songwriting chops. It's very much fine, though, just nothing impressive or memorable.

Another very solid post-punk outing from the London-based band. For me it?s somewhat of the band's response to the post-Brexit sound that has been swarming the indie scene the last few years and although it is nowhere near as expansive or enchanting as a Black Country New Road or as clustered and avant-garde as Black Midi, it is on the same level as someone like a Squid in which there are some raw and harrowing post-punk riffs, but the use of post-hardcore on tracks as well as art rock/punk helps create a sense of creativity and uniqueness that I always felt was missing on past releases. This record still suffers from a lot of classic post-punk problems of being too one-dimensional at points (plus it loses steam later on), but it?s a fun listen.

Shame have always had that marginal balance between moderately heavy post-punk and heavily moderate pop-rock, but have opted to pursue to latter on 'Food for Worms'. Lyrically they are the most explicit, musically most ballad-like. But all that is somewhat undercut by his vocal bars set for Charlie Steen, which he simply does not reach. Most notable example is "Six-Pack", which is melodically sporadic and intricate, but is really bogged down by Charlie's lacklustre vocal delivery. At least on 'Drunk Tank Pink' he could scream his guts off, if need be.
