Leeds Dance-Rock Outfit Adult DVD share their chugging new anthem ‘7 Foot 1’ alongside news of their anticipated sophomore EP ‘Next Day Shipping’. The charismatic six-piece will embark on an extensive tour across the UK and Europe in support of the EP including headline dates at the legendary Moth Club in London and a hometown headline at The Brudenell Social Club in Leeds.

Through a consistently infectious and ever-expanding discography – including cult single ‘Bill Murray’, cosigned by the actor himself – and a series of shows with PVA, Warmduscher, Do Nothing, the band have developed a propulsive and hook-laden style loved by Clash, Radio 6, Radio 1, Radio X, Spotify’s Hot New Bands playlist and festivals like Left Of The Dial, Nuits Sonores and Beat-Herder.

Instantly pounding from the get go, EP lead single ‘7 Foot 1’ is another display of Adult DVD’s bold, locked-in charm that gets crowds moving. As frontman Harry Hanson shares, “It’s essentially about me being terrified of any horror films, or just anything scary. I went to see a horror once at the cinema and spent more time queuing for popcorn than I did in the screening. It was only a rated 12 too. I can count the horror films I’ve seen on one hand, not for me. No thanks.” 

Showing the influence of Indie Dance and the legacy of Acid House scenes internationally, the first taste of the ‘Next Day Shipping’ is a strong sign of things to come. The full EP is due September 2024 ahead of a long EU and UK tour schedule

Adult DVD are Harry Hanson (Lead Vocals), Greg Lonsdale (Synth / Vocals), Jake Williams (Synth), Danny Blackburn (Guitar / Synth), George Manson (Bass), and Jonathan Newell (Drums)
