Slow Club’s latest single "The Dog" is reflective of the themes on their hit second album "Paradise" - it carries within it a dark, thoughtful view of the world.
A highlight of their live set that sees Rebecca Taylor take her seat behind the drum kit, "The Dog" has been reworked for it's single release. The vocal sparring between Taylor and Charles Watson remains intact alongside their signature penchant for thunderous drums and frantic guitars, resulting in their most punk rock outing to date.
The Dog’s release coincides with an extensive UK tour, kicking off in April. But before that they've a packed calendar, including a hometown date at Leed’s Brudenell Social Club on Feb 8th and a headline NME Awards show at Heaven on Feb 9th.
