I've loved The Slow Readers Club for many years since seeing Omerta support Puressence on Channel M. I still believe that their songs just need an outlet for them to become massive and be loved by the masses. Once people hear them, they will love them, I'm sure. Personally, (perhaps selfishly) I love seeing them at the level they are at. Aaron Starkie has a beautiful voice and is a fantasic lyricist who is not afraid to show his vulnerabilities. I feel so much love for him and the band. Every time I've seen them I just want to hug him! Please don't lose that edge in your sound in the search for mainstream success.
Saw this band support James at the Colston Hall in Bristol and had the good fortune to meet the band afterwards. Absolutely brilliant! Really lovely lads and would happily see them again. Got the crowd going and my good lady wife loves them !
Lyrics I am broken, I am sea sick I am feeling cursed Now some would say That's more than I deserve I am empty, I am hollow I am solemn verse My soul is bare For all here to observe I am wasted, I am useless Come and dig my earth My fingers bled From digging in the dirt I saw a ghost I saw a shadow Hanging over me I am frozen, I am winter I am desolate I'm waiting for The summer to return I am vacant, I am shallow I am derelict I'm drunk again I guess I'll never learn I saw a ghost I saw a shadow Hanging over me
Hi guys, my visit to Dublin was followed by the search for a band on the Internet. I found it, went into the "workmans club" (23.04.2016) and heard you! I was impressed by the music and the voice of you Aaron! Come to Germany! It was nice to have met you. I hope you enjoyed the aftershowparty with no headaches ... see you ;-)
I predict that these guys will go from being a support band to better known bands, to being the headline act themselves in a very short space of time......absolutely brilliant band....
I've just found out from friend about this band & they blew me away,his voice is phenomenal and I love the music.ive ordered this album in LP. plus I'm going get their 1st album too. fantastic band and great live!!!! I love this song,I've suffered Depression so the lyrics mean a lot.
Looking back through the comments from a couple of years ago most people were predicting a big future for this band. As we come towards the end of 2018 they may have had a little more exposure and crept up the order at some festivals but, the much predicted fame seems miles away, a real shame as they are a great band.
Quite Simply....The Best Support Band I have seen in many a year!!!!!!!....I hope that success is just around the corner for these guys..luv the music, lyrics, vocals and make up of this sensational band!!!!!!!!!
Really enjoyed the show with The Mary Chain guys....awesome.......caught up with your bass player on the merch stall....Cavalcade is an Ace Plus album......Big respect.......Hope to see u soon x
A film called strangeways here we come bought me here. Top track.
Nice one Bobby, welcome. Loads more of our music for you on here to discover
Me too!! Instantly loved this !!
I discovered them when they were a support act for Noel Gallagher back in July. Aaron walked up to me when hanging around but didn't notice me lol.
@theslowreadersclub where was this filmed.
Outstanding track from an outstanding band. ❤

They will be massive, with songs like this, they cannot continue to be ignored. Best band I have heard in a long long time
Unfortunately it still seems to be the case :'(
I've just discovered this. What a tune man!
Saying that they're on tour atm and lots of their shows are selling out! Can't wait to see them in Portsmouth tomorrow :)

Just heard this in the film "strangeways here we come" what a tune 2:15
by 2017 i suspect this band will be known by everyone on the planet, they are just incredible
Открыл эту группу совсем недавно) Музыка - супер! Спасибо за творчество)
Соглесн. Крутые ребята
Lyrics
I am broken, I am sea sick
I am feeling cursed
Now some would say
That's more than I deserve
I am empty, I am hollow
I am solemn verse
My soul is bare
For all here to observe
I am wasted, I am useless
Come and dig my earth
My fingers bled
From digging in the dirt
I saw a ghost
I saw a shadow
Hanging over me
I am frozen, I am winter
I am desolate
I'm waiting for
The summer to return
I am vacant, I am shallow
I am derelict
I'm drunk again
I guess I'll never learn
I saw a ghost
I saw a shadow
Hanging over me
Hi guys,
my visit to Dublin was followed by the search for a band on the Internet.

It was nice to have met you. I hope you enjoyed the aftershowparty with no headaches ... see you ;-)
Seen this band at city hall Newcastle in May I think they are brilliant
One of the best I've ever seen. Fucking amazing.
Purchased both albums and 24 songs now on constant loop... Perfect Music to my ears....
Filmed in my old school before demolition. All Hallows RC High School, Salford.
Talk talk vs blonde (Clem Burke drumming) vs echo and the bunny men. Bloody brilliant. Can’t wait to see them at Kendal calling.
I saw this band a few days ago, opening JAMES. They are great. I'm a fan
Obrigado Diogo
Came here after hearing this on strangeways on netflix, great tune.
its criminal how tis band are not huge
There are not actually any laws requiring this
I predict that these guys will go from being a support band to better known bands, to being the headline act themselves in a very short space of time......absolutely brilliant band....

We have sold out Manchester Apollo and London Scala and had a top 20 album this year, not all bad :) we have big plans for 2019 👍
Underrated band
Quite Simply....The Best Support Band I have seen in many a year!!!!!!!....I hope that success is just around the corner for these guys..luv the music, lyrics, vocals and make up of this sensational band!!!!!!!!!
So underrated
What a band these lads are very soon they will be big and about time too!!!!!!
Fantastic music from The Slow Readers Club x
Love this song
U guys are the best!! Thanks for the good music!
I had to Google this song after hearing an excerpt, thinking how much he sounds like Morrisey
Fantastic, brilliant pitch too
Great tune!!
Great band.
These really are superb
Great song!
I love this song. But there is something Ian Curtis with the lead singer X
j theralexandere why is he dead? lol
Ghost!!!

Como Siempre,,NiceOne
Loving it!
bella bella e bellaaaaaaaaaa

Looks like my old school-Weaste Lane???!
It is. All Hallows
buenaza...
This song is absolutely superb. But where is the key board player in the video?
This is the one.
Great song ....Really looking forward to seeing u guys open for The Mary Chain in Brum....Respect x
Cheers Andee 👍
Really enjoyed the show with The Mary Chain guys....awesome.......caught up with your bass player on the merch stall....Cavalcade is an Ace Plus album......Big respect.......Hope to see u soon x
I reckon if Joy Division were still around they’d be churning out bangers just like this
I used to go clubbing with this guy in Manchester!! ;-)
❤️
Bellissime le canzoni dei The slow Readers Club... Scoperti da poco e già "innamorata" pazza!!!!
If you close your eyes you can almost hear Ian curtis
is he related to jimmy summerville?
First track I heard from these guys was Plant The Seed.......my initial thoughts were that there was a Communards and Bronski Beat influence......
OMG YES MR RYAN MY EFFING ICT TEACHER YEEEEEE
All the fucking great music in the World happens in the UK first, WHY, GOD?????????
+Gonzalo Ale 30 years ago it use to be America. I wonder who will have their turn next. It will either be Japan or India.
Gonzalo Ale,because British bands actually take the time to write songs of the moment in time.
Greatest country on this coil
Manchester has a huge independant non-comercial music culture. :)
I see how people in the comments like your songs
But why the heck is there so little views
I cant understand it
This is an absolute tune, but I can't get past the singer looking a bit like a bad photofit picture from Crimewatch in the video
Great tune . Should been a bigger band
It’s Joy Division. A really good song. Just missing that little bit of magic.
A bit joy division tbh ,gud band
Hare Krishna Aaron!
Toy Division
Awesome
Great!
Love this song
