Birmingham punk trio Youth Man are pleased to announce that their new EP ‘Hill of Knives’ will be released on 27th April 2015 and will be available to purchase via bandcamp. The band have also revealed an extensive string of UK headline dates throughout May and June in support of the release.
The first track to be taken from the new EP, ‘Skin’, is already picking up support from BBCR1 scoring plays from Daniel P Carter and Zane Lowe. You can now watch the video for ‘Skin’ after it’s premiere with AltPress – the track is available to download for free here:
Recorded and produced by the band with Isaac “Ike” Cartwright at Muthers Studio in Birmingham, the single is the latest in a drip-feed of new material from ‘Hill of Knives’. Previously, their critically acclaimed early 2014 EP ‘Bad Weather’ combined with an explosive live show to catapult them into the sights of the music press, with Rolling Stone Magazine recently hailing them as one of “10 New Artists You Need To Know”.
