YUNG – ” Uncombed Hair / Pills “

“Yung’s music is a space of innocence and experience, beauty and pain, darkness and light. Frontman Mikkel Holm Silkjær embodies opposites, too: His music showcases both his maturity as a songwriter and his youth, as he relies on more than a decade of songwriting experience despite being only 21. Both of Silkjær’s parents are musical; they put him behind a drum set at the age of 4 and introduced him to the local punk scene as a teen. Since then, he has become something of a leader in the Danish DIY scene, playing in gritty hardcore and punk bands and running a record label for like-minded local bands in his hometown of Aarhus, Denmark. Yung, however, is a more personal project for Silkjær, in which he steps away from the heaviness of earlier bands but manages to keeps his sense of urgency and angst.”

YUNG – ” These Thoughts Are Like Mandatory Chores ” EP

These Thoughts Are Like Mandatory Chores was the second EP released in 2015 by Yung, but the Danish band seems to have no shortage of ideas. Their first 2015 EP, Alter, showed that they’re great at building up a scuzzy hook — and they do that again here on “God” and “It Happened Again” — but I find myself gravitating toward the tracks where they spread out, particularly the back half of “Offshore.” The spiraling staircase on the artwork feels apt: It’s easy to fall down into these songs, and get completely lost in your own head.

Yung – Blanket/Burning Bodies – 7″ vinyl
Limited to 500 copies (400 black/100 white)
Released 24th July 2015 this Danish four-piece Yung’s furious apathy anthem “Nobody Cares” immediately hooked me on their sound — urgent punk with snarl and fuzz. After the release of their Alter EP in March, they’ve followed up with “Blanket,” a warm, nostalgic tangle that’ll take you back to all the summer camp nights you spent oceanside, gazing up at stars. This song is like a reel of memory played out with melodic, bewildering passion. .

“Blanket” b/w “Burning Bodies” is out 7/24 digitally and as limited run of 500 vinyl copies via Tough Love Records.

Fresh out of Copenhagen, Yung are one of Scandinavia’s hottest new prospects, with apparently “hundreds” of songs already written and ready to go. If Iceage covering Nirvana sounds like your thing, then check out ‘Nobody Cares’.

Formed in the summer of 2013 by 20 year old frontman Mikkel Holm Silkjær (guitar, vocals) in the north of Aarhus – Denmark’s second largest city and what locals would say, the current punk rock capital – along with friends Frederik Nybo Veile (drums), Tobias Guldborg Tarp (bass) and Emil Zethsen (guitar), Yung have spent the past year building up a formidable live reputation in their native Denmark. As their name would suggest, the four piece play with a youthful exuberance and feverish energy that leaves little chance to catch your breath.

Growing out of Mikkel’s teenage dreams and the harsh reality of what is the everyday life of young adulthood, their debut international release,” Alter”, serves as both a vehicle for, and an escape from, the bewildered frustration of having to deal with life’s treadmill – trying to find a tolerable and meaningful place in the world, whilst wasting time at useless jobs in order to enjoy whatever little freedom that’s left; to hang out with friends; and, first and foremost, devote time to music. It’s no coincidence that “Alter” was written and recorded just two months after the band formed
