Shame announce new album Cutthroat and Irish dates
Cutthroat was created in collaboration with Grammy winning producer John Congleton. 'It's about the cowards, the c**ts, the hypocrites,' says vocalist Charlie Steen. 'Let's face it, there's a lot of them around right now.'
To accompany the announcement, Shame released the new video for the album's title track, directed by Ja Humby.
Commenting on the album, Steen continued: 'This is about who we are. Our live shows aren't performance art – they're direct, confrontational and raw. That's always been the root of us. We live in crazy times. But it's not about 'Poor me.' It's about 'F*ck you'.'
On top of their newly announced Irish headline gig, Shame are set to play the opening slot for Wunderhorse's August 19 and 20 dates in Collins Barracks, Dublin.
Tickets for Shame's Dublin and Cork dates go on sale this Friday, June 6, here.

RTE star reveals ‘love the top job' presidency aspirations as Rose of Tralee pal offers ‘brilliant in the role' backing
Daithi and Kathryn were joined by 32 women from around the globe to launch the 65th Rose of Tralee International Festival ALL ABOARD RTE star reveals 'love the top job' presidency aspirations as Rose of Tralee pal offers 'brilliant in the role' backing IT was all hands on deck for the Rose of Tralee launch today — with presenter Daithi O Se using the boat party to drop anchor on talk of running for president. The popular Kerryman, on board the MV Cill Airne with his show co-host Kathryn Thomas and 32 Roses, said he would 'love the top job' — but not just yet.

Everybody loves Daithi — he is so Irish and would be brilliant in the role.' Quizzed as to why she thought he'd be good for the job, Daithi jumped in: 'Because he's standing next to me!' But anyone thinking that the 49-year-old was only joking about running for the Aras got a shock when Daithi said it could really be on the cards. Advertisement Daithi told The Irish Sun: 'It's something that everybody who is in the public eye, or a public servant, should at least think about it. 'It's the top job in the country, you are an ambassador for the country and a custodian of the constitution. 'To turn around at this stage and say I wouldn't be interested would be wrong. While ruling himself out of a run this November, Daithi added: 'It won't be this year. Advertisement 'Will I be interested in seven years? You never know.' Asked if he would endorse any of the 2025 contenders, he jokingly hinted at his own future run, saying: 'No one has approached me to run this time but I wish them all luck.' KERRY GOLD Today, Daithi and Kathryn were joined by 32 women from around the globe to launch the 65th Rose of Tralee International Festival. TV coverage of the event has always been a gentle affair with Roses showing off their party tricks — until the 2016 event when the stage was invaded by a Fathers 4 Justice campaigner. Advertisement Daithi admitted: 'As it happened once you are always afraid and concerned it might happen again. At the time I thought it was some prank they hadn't told me about. 'Why didn't they tell me about this? Then it became apparent that it wasn't a prank at all, it was very serious.' The on-stage intruder turned out to be burly campaigner Matt O'Connor who was dressed as a priest. Quizzed by The Irish Sun if he could have 'had him', Daithi told us: 'I wouldn't want to comment or encourage anybody to test my wrestling skills live on TV.' Advertisement The Today Show host said the gentle nature of the annual pageant was changed forever by the unwanted stage invader. Daithi added: 'That was the beauty of the thing — there were security people there but no one thought such a thing was possible. 'But once it happened, the alert went up and we have all been on our toes since it happened.' He added: 'I don't think it will ever happen again because people are aware these things can happen and have to be dealt with.' Advertisement LIVE TV PREP The people with the most important task on the night are Daithi and Kathryn, whose jobs are to reveal the personalities, hopes and dreams of the 32 Roses as they interview them on live TV. Kathryn said: 'The biggest problem we have is trying to condense 25 or 26 years into a seven-minute interview. 'That's where the real fun and games happen. 'Right now the girls can't believe they are here. But they will be different women after a week spent with this sisterhood. Advertisement 'They will be behaving as if they have been on TV for years.' Daithi added: 'The Roses themselves — and it is them — they're the backbone of this whole show. 'It's the stories they bring, that's what makes it different every year.' CHANGING WITH SOCIETY The presenter, who has hosted the competition since 2010, said that throughout the years the pageant reflected the massive changes in women's lives in Ireland. Advertisement He added: 'If you went back to the 70s, you'd get an idea of what Irish women were doing socially, when it comes to work, travel and so on. 'Now in 2025, we have electricians, we have occupational therapists, we have forklift truck drivers, we have farmers, we have everything. 'These women are all educated, these women are well-travelled and they've done so much. I read their CVs and it puts my own BA in history to shame.' Despite the fun atmosphere, mum-of-two Kathryn revealed that it can be hard on some of the Roses touring around Ireland this week if they have left their children at home. Advertisement She said: 'It's tough being away from a one-year-old but it shows how much the girls want to do it. 'The Armagh Rose (Erin McCormac) has a one-year-old at home. 'She entered the competition six months ago, and when she won, she asked, 'Has anyone ever backed out of The Rose of Tralee?' Now she's in it and I think it's amazing.' Daithi said: 'The Rose of Tralee is like that Eagles Song, Hotel California, 'You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!'' Advertisement The presenter cheekily revealed he would be hooking-up with Kathryn 'in her hotel room' during their stay in Kerry. Kathryn explained: 'I'm going to do my Q102 Morning Show from down there. So because we don't have a studio, I'll be interviewing Daithi in my hotel room.' THE Rose of Tralee festival will run on Monday and Tuesday night, August 18 and 19, and is broadcast live on RTE One. 5 Daithi O Se and Kathryn Thomas steered the ship at the launch of the 2025 Rose of Tralee International Festival Credit: Andres Poveda 5 The Rose of Tralee will air on Monday and Tuesday from 8pm on RTE One and on the RTE Player Credit: Andres Poveda
