To coincide with the re-release of this iconic record, The Dears embarked on a mini tour with sold out shows in Montreal, Toronto, and Hamilton in their home country. The tour now brings them to London where they will play at The Islington Assembly Hall on the 7th of December this year.

Alongside the white vinyl release, The Dears have shared the previously never-before-seen video for ‘Don’t Lose the Faith.’  The video was directed by multi-award winner Wendy Morgan and was originally produced around the album release.

The Dears’ Murray Lightburn says: “I have two vivid memories about the making of this video in my head. The first one was being on the phone with Wendy and all the laughs we had talking about the concept. In my mind I knew it was going to be fun to shoot. Even though I always absolutely hated making music videos (and still do) I always had fun working with Wendy. The other memory was putting on whatever it was – some kind of green goop – to display the disease that was taking over the crew one by one. I was always trying not fuss with it or mess it up.”
