“Normally, Youbet songs start on the nylon string, but this time I was inspired to write on the electric guitar,” Nick Llobet says of the band’s new single “Deny.” “While driving around last spring we listened to a ton of Polvo, Autolux, and Boris, just to name a few. ‘Deny’ was written last April after we got home from supporting Mary Timony on tour. I was inspired to create a song that captured the energy of that time. In this way, touring is such a great learning experience. Getting in front of new audiences last year helped us develop a new sound. We fed off of the energy. I would say this song is an experiment- trying to explore some new stylistic terrain. A lot of the new songs we’re writing live in this world – ‘Deny’ is a bridge.”
youbet is also supporting its 2024 release, “Way To Be”. The album and its singles have seen support from the likes of Stereogum, Consequence of Sound, PASTE’s “Best New Songs,” and Post Trash, with additional playlisting from the likes of Ones to Watch, Pitchfork “Selects,” The Alternative, The Line Of Best Fit, Dork, and more.
youbet also spent much of 2024 on the road promoting “Way To Be”, supporting the likes of Mary Timony, Palehound, Ratboys, Sour Widows, Truth Club, Coco, June McDoom, and more.
