Birmingham punk trio Youth Man have premiered their new video for ‘Joy’ with Clash Magazine today.
After a summer of festival appearances and the addition of new bass player Miles Cocker, the band continue their relentless assault on the UK underground at full throttle as they announce they will join Cheltenham’s Solemn Sun as main support on their November UK tour and release their new single ‘Joy’ on 13th October.
“We’re really excited to get this out there” enthuses brooding front woman Kaila Whyte “We’ve been sitting on it for ages and waiting for the right moment. It’s been a while since we released new stuff because we’ve been so busy playing shows, and then we realised it had been a year since Heavy Rain! Joy is a bit different from Heavy Rain, but it’s still us..it still has balls.”
“The Solemn Sun tour is gonna be really cool too. We were chuffed to be asked. It’s our first support tour and only our second full tour overall so it’ll be a cool experience. We’re gonna have to do all the cliched tour stuff…shower in swimming baths and all that sh*t.”
Meanwhile, the band continue at work in the studio on their next installment of chaotic, caustic punk.
