Damn Shames are Simon Richardson (vocals and guitar), Matthew Deary (vocals and guitar) and Jacob Burns (bass). Three impeccably degenerate and impossibly well read 19 year olds from Edinburgh in the great tradition of Scotland's art-pop musical underground – Scars, Fire Engines and Orange Juice are all reference points. Their debut Abeano release is 'Fear Of Assault'. Think The Cribs if they were obsessed with The Prodigy and dripping with early Beastie Boys attitude.
