New York, NY (Top40 Charts) What the press are saying about Youth Man:
�Raw and reckless thrills that embody riot grrl passion� � NME
"This is the kind of music you want to beat your friends up to" - DIY
"Impressive Dead Kennedy's style creepy fury" - Rock Sound
"One of punk rock's most inspired acts right now� � Afropunk
Birmingham noise-punk trio YOUTH MAN are extremely pleased to announce they will be supporting LA post-hardcore band letlive. on their upcoming April 2016 UK and EU headline tour dates, starting tonight (Thursday 21st) at Sound Control in Manchester.
The threesome recently revealed that their new EP �Wax� will be released on 1st July 2016 on VENN Records, the independent label owned by visceral punks
Gallows and home to releases from Heck, Marmozets, Milk Teeth, Moose Blood and more.
Fans can get a taster of the new EP � which was recorded completely live in one session � on frenetic and caustic new track �Fat Dead Elvis�. It�s a typically oppressive and raw cut from the band, dripping in overdriven scuzzy guitars and trashy cymbals that highlight their off-kilter approach to punk.
Released digitally and on limited edition 300 pressing 12" on frosted clear wax, the record features artwork by drummer Marcus Perks - an original sculpture made of clay, candles, dentures and googly eyes. The band also took a ton of polaroids during the recording process which will be exclusively available in a booklet that is ONLY available with the vinyl copy of the EP - preorders are on sale now: https://hyperurl.co/YouthManBundle
Further lives dates and UK festival appearances TBA.
New EP �Wax� is released on 1st July via Venn Records
