Dead Pretties have shared the video to their most recent single ‘Confidence’.
The clip comes ahead of the band’s first headline tour, set to kick off later this month in Manchester on 28th September. Calling off in Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Leeds, Birmingham, Leicester, Brighton, Southampton, London and Oxford, it finishes up in the bright lights of Leamington Spa on 21st October.
Speaking about the new single, frontman Jacob Slater explains: “The public is being de-intellectualised by certain outlets of the western media, who choose the easy path of reporting on bum implants and racists when they know they have the power to shift the focus of the public eye. The worrying thing is because the general public on such a regular basis consumes it; people have become addicted to wanting to know more about the Kardashians of the World. That makes these people powerful role models. I’m opposed to the idea that rattling like a near empty tin should be an example of how to live ones life. People are stupid enough as it is, don’t encourage them.”
