We’ve been following Birmingham noise-punk trio Youth Man since day one and we’re pleased to report that they’ve just announced they’ve signed to VENN Records, the independent label established and operated by visceral punks Gallows, for a new EP scheduled for release in Spring 2016.
Commenting on their new signing, Laurent “Lags” Barnard of Gallows and VENN Records said: “Youth Man are as real as it gets – thrilling and uncompromising.”
The band commented:
“We’re chuffed to be working with Venn. We love the whole vibe and ethics of the label and it’s cool to join the family! Our new stuff is probably our favourite bunch of songs yet – we wrote most of it in the downtime between the festival season and our German tour. We haven’t actually recorded it yet but when we do we’re gonna set a stopwatch when we start tracking and only stop it once every single bit of every track is finished. The time that takes will probably be the title of the record. It’ll be our first vinyl release too.“
Having just finished a run of EU tour dates with German punks Adam Angst and KMPFSPRT, the trio return to the UK and will support Brighton band Tigercub on their extensive run of headline UK tour dates this November.
The new EP will feature latest single ‘Pigs’ – the video for which can be seen here:
