Breed 77 are asking fans to appear in the music video for their upcoming single ‘Don’t Give Me Up’. The track is taken from their new album VII, which is set for release on 13th November 2026. The band have also announced a UK tour for November 2026.
The new single ‘Don’t Give Me Up’ addresses themes of individuality, the challenges of being different, and resilience against bullying and online criticism. Breed 77 are inviting fans to submit short video clips to be featured in the official music video.
To participate, individuals should submit a video, approximately 10 seconds in length, shot in landscape orientation and in high quality (4k or HD). The video needs to show two expressions: a serious or ferocious stare at the camera, followed by a smile. Submissions should be sent to officialbreed77@gmail.com with the subject “Different”. Participants must also include a permission statement in their email: “I, [Your Name], give Breed 77 permission to use my image/likeness in the music video for Don’t Give Me Up”. The deadline for submissions is the end of Friday, 16th October.
VII marks the band’s first new album in thirteen years and features eleven tracks. It includes previously released singles ‘End Of The Line’, ‘Outside’, and ‘Just Act Like You Know’. The album is available to pre-save here.
Paul Isola, Breed 77 frontman, states that the album’s recording took place over a year and a half across three countries, and describes VII as “a sprawling, eclectic affair”. He adds that the album “straddles the spectrum from driving metal riffs and the energy we’re known for – to soft ballads and everything in-between!” Isola also comments on the lyrical themes, stating that VII explores how “so many of us that feel we don’t fit in” in today’s society, and that “it’s OK to BE different”.
The full track list for VII is:
- ‘End Of The Line’
- ‘Outside’
- ‘We Were Young’
- ‘I Should’ve Let You Know’
- ‘Got Me Wrong’
- ‘Two Worlds Apart’
- ‘I See Red’
- ‘Wish You Well’
- ‘Don’t Give Me Up’
- ‘Just Act Like You Know’
- ‘Perdido (Lost)’
Ahead of the album’s release, Breed 77 have also released the single ‘Wish You Well’. Isola describes the song as “an eclectic affair – exotic and emotive, ‘Wish You Well’ is a celebration of the chaos – the thousands of differing opinions and points of view”. He adds that the song “is a bit of a trip for its relatively short 3 minutes and change run time; we take you on quite a journey – it floats, it kicks, it’s grungy, there’s a bit of flamenco in there – we’re not pulling any punches, it’s full-on Breed!”
‘Wish You Well’ can be streamed here and a lyric video is available here.
