| Translucent red vinyl, with digital download code. Brutal Youth play manic hardcore punk rock. They started out with three simple rules: Play it fast; keep it under 90 seconds and don't be precious about repeating a hook. because when your songs are that short people can always just hit rewind and play 'em again. Over a decade later they've broken every single one of those rules. Energetic, raw, honest, heart on the sleeve punk rock, Brutal Youth have been causing a ruckus for the last 10+ years. Formed in 2010, the band hit the ground running and recorded their first brutally fantastic album, "Spill Your Guts". Shortly thereafter the group uprooted themselves from their hometown of St. John's, NL and moved to Toronto. After settling in to their new digs, Brutal Youth gained attention locally with their lightning-fast sets and blood-soaked high-intensity performances. A bunch of records and touring ensued. On Rebuilding Year (their 4th long-player) we find the band once again breaking the rules and rewriting their own playbook. 14 songs that range from mid-tempo melodic sing-alongs, to blistering fast knockout tracks (some that even break the 3 minute mark) on a record all about dealing with personal ruination, redesign, & redemption. Rebuilding Year is the Brutal Youth's most well-constructed and cohesive release to date. Tense and brooding about how life can grind you down into nothing, then melodic and resolute to make those necessary changes for the better because like they say "you get back what you put in." |
