Bad Breeding, the Stevenage-based hardcore unit, a reset to release their fifth album, ‘Contempt’.
It follows 2022s ‘Human Capital’, which mercilessly attacked conservative meritocracy and the exploitative forces of late capitalism. ‘Contempt’ ups the ante yet again and explores the continued effects that austerity has had on the working public and specifically capital’s destruction of the planet and its inhabitants.
‘Contempt’ is released with multiple essays in an accompanying zine, one that follows environmental and humanitarian journalist Aidan Frere-Smith and another that tells the story of a homelessness crisis in a city full of unused housing.
Utilizing a mix of propulsive rhythm and furious, explosive guitars to maximum effect, Bad Breeding have weaponised their anger in the fight for survival; “Because these days are ours to take / Seize them with union, love and rage.”
Recorded and produced by Ben Greenberg at Chapel Studios, Alford,U.K.. Assisted by Pieter Rietkerk. Mixed by Ben Greenberg at Circular RuinStudio, New York City, USA. Mastered and cut by Matt Colton at Metropolis Studios. Art by Peter Kennard.
“Bad Breeding has fomented a beautiful, caustic fury that is as artistically impressive as it is unwavering” - NPR
