New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Young Guv shares " Roll With Me" - the latest single from his forthcoming album GUV I due out on Run For Cover August 2. GUV I, a collection of staggeringly poignant and infectious pop tunes, is the first volume of a two part album series - the second sees its release later this fall. Young Guv performs this Thursday with Krime watch and Lil Ugly Mane in part of Sound and Fury Fest at The Belasco Theater.
Young Guv is dedicated and prolific songwriter, Ben Cook. You may know him from his work and partake in F'cked Up and No Warning. But the only place to hear music that belongs entirely to Ben Cook - music that comes into the world owing nothing to a bandmate or a client or a genre convention, whether affectionately observed or cheekily subverted - has been under the umbrella of Young Guv. Since 2008, he has released a steady drip of singles and EPs, plus two full-lengths. Sometimes Young Guv songs have guitars and British Invasion harmonies; sometimes they have synths and a modulated voice. But always they have choruses you'll never forget and lyrics whose dry wit and understated acuity knocks you flat.
