The Slow Readers Club have shared a new live video for their latest single, ‘You Opened Up My Heart’, filmed at their sold out Manchester Albert Hall show last year. The track is taken from their third album, Build A Tower, out May 4th via Modern Sky.

Encapsulating the captivating energy of the band’s live performance, the video sees the band perform the track to a packed out crowd of over 2,000 enthralled fans. It follows the release of the official video; a pulsating collage of glitchy visuals and atmospheric ambience.

‘You Opened Up My Heart’ is the latest single from the upcoming album, following the tracks ‘Lunatic’ and ‘Through The Shadows’, both of which feature on the new album.

The band will be touring the UK in support of Build A Tower, starting this week in Cardiff and continuing throughout May. Leeds, Northwich, Manchester and Stoke have sold out, with Manchester selling out in less than 24 hours. Full dates can be found below.

‘Dehumanised’ is the third Bad Breeding single, taken from their forthcoming EP, Abandonment, out this week on One Little Indian Records. The Stevenage-based anarcho-punks recorded the EP on the eve of a European tour, in one room in Berlin with Ben Greenberg (Uniform) at the controls. The result captures all the urgent turbulence of their live show, bristling with an uncontained power.

Bad Breeding will also host a headline show at The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington on International Workers’ Day (May 1) to help raise funds for People for People - Stevenage, a locally-run group that provides relief for marginalised sections of the town’s community.

On the four tracks that make up the Abandonment EP, the band engage in an honest and attentive fury that avoids ulterior motive. True to themselves and where they come from, the band fix upon an irrepressible surge of agitation that is, in every sense, important at a time when ‘profit negates life’, when the neglected are ‘left to sink’ and when there seems to be ‘no end to disillusion’.
