SPB exclusive: Bad Breeding - Human Capital

Posted in Records on July 8, 2022

Out on July 8, Scene Point Blank is pleased to share the latest by Bad Breeding.
 
Human Capital is the band’s fourth album and continues their pummeling, raw take on hardcore/anarchopunk. It releases via Iron Lung Records (USA) and One Little Independent Records (UK).
 
The album is both heavy, yet tempered, letting tension and release deliver the messages in tandem with the band’s politically conscious, belted out lyrics.
 

 

The band also shares an essay, authored by collaborator Jake Farrell, in tandem with the release.

Preorders are available now from Iron Lung and One Little Independent.
 
Based in Stevenage, UK, the band is Chris Dodd (vocals), Angus Gannagé (guitar), Charlie Rose (bass), and Ashlea Bennett (drums).
