The following description comes from the event organizer.

SECRET SHAME ( NC) Secret Shames exists within the sonic tension between rage and melancholy, the beautiful and the bleak. Their debut full-length, Dark Synthetics, received widespread critical acclaim with singles being featured on The New York Time’s playlist and the album landing on Bandcamp Daily’s on Post-Punk.com’s end-of-the-year lists. The band’s sophomore album, Autonomy, explores themes of addiction, body dysmorphia, abuse, and mental illness.
