The Slow Readers Club is an indie rock band from Manchester, England. Formed in 2009, the group emerged from the remnants of a previous band called Omerta. The current lineup consists of Aaron Starkie (vocals), Kurtis Starkie (guitar), James Ryan (bass), and David Whitworth (drums). Their music blends elements of indie rock, post-punk, and electronic influences, drawing comparisons to bands like Interpol and Editors. They gained a loyal fanbase through grassroots efforts and energetic live performances. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2011, followed by *Cavalcade* in 2015, which helped them attract wider recognition. The band's subsequent albums, including *Build a Tower* (2018), *The Joy of the Return* (2020), and *Knowledge Freedom Power* (2023), further solidified their reputation. The Slow Readers Club has built a strong presence through sold-out tours and appearances at major festivals. Despite being independent for much of their career, they have achieved significant success, ranking high on the UK charts and continuing to grow their fanbase across the world.
