| Y.O.U.N.G. - Exposure |
Release Date: Out Now
There is one reason I write this
blog and one reason alone; the pursuit of exciting new music. During that
pursuit, I come across a lot of good bands, some awful musicians and the
occasional moment of gloriousness – Manchester collective Y.O.U.N.G. fall
firmly in to that last category. This is my first time of hearing the group and
this single, ‘Exposure’, got my attention within seconds using a riff that
sounds like the young Arctic Monkeys having a go at a Rage Against the Machine
cover and then the rest of the band kick in and things just kick off. The bass
snakes in, the drums go directly for your rib-cage and the fierce spitting
starts like Zach de la Rocha is back in the house with all that youthful
exuberance. Then, just when you think you know where this is going, they throw
in a chorus that sounds like Years & Years mixing with the Streets. This is
agitated, melodic, danceable and entirely addictive so I am, of course, hooked.
I expect the live show is insane and I’m going to pin my colours to the mast to
say that 2018 could and should be a big year for Y.O.U.N.G. if there’s any justice.
They’re a bitch to Google though.
