NME continue to break the best in alternative talent through their New Breed Tour year on year. This time they bring Birmingham's Superfood who are really starting to make a name for themselves, along with Honeyblood for their annual journey around the UK. 

The tour kicks off at the Oobleck in Superfood's native Birmingham on Friday 31st October, touching down at a further seven venues in key cities before the curtain closer at The Haunt in Brighton on Wednesday 12th November

The Midlands band have an incoming album entitled Don't Say That, documenting their fresh vocal and laid back guitar led vibe that has seen them rocket to the forefront of our attentions. For anyone unaware of their youthful talent, check out 'Lily For Your Pad To Rest On' from their debut long player above. 

Joining them are Honeyblood, a female pairing that have similarly gained a meteoric rise to prominence with their thrashy noise pop sound, with vocals that lean more towards Californian surf rock than their native Glaswegian tongue. They released their self titled album earlier this year, and played the Radio 1 Big Weekend which you can witness above.
