Heart-Stopping Introspection – THE UNDERGROUND YOUTH With New Single ‘A SORROWFUL RACE’

Posted on by JL

10 December 2020

British psych-rockers THE UNDERGROUND YOUTH formed by mastermind Craig Dyer have been around for a while. Between 2006 and today they delivered nine albums with last year’s Montage Images Of Lust & Fear as one of their most impressive works.

Its follow-up longplayer called The Falling is planned for a March 2021 release.
And here’s the captivating lead-single A SORROWFUL RACE.

Craig says in a press statement: “This track is something of a personal attack on myself,
and the narcissistic frustration at those whose success has overshadowed my own. It could
be perceived as egoistic, but the idea with this record was to be as honest as possible lyrically, that included addressing the feelings that were maybe harder to face.”

A Sorrowful Race is a plain-speaking reflection of solipsism and gnawing jealousy.
A brutally honest and poignant introspection. A magnific ballad that makes you silent.
A heart-stopping pearl straight from the soul. An emotive tour de force. A spellbinding experience. Wow!

“Why he’s achieved so much more than I,
in such a short amount of time, well I’ll
never understand why, I’ll just keep writing
line after line after line after line”

Brand new sonic impulses…

will release their 11th LP, named NOSTALGIA CLASS via Fuzz Club.

After launching inflammable lead single The Death Of An Author the band shares another furious track. LAST EXIT TO NOWHERE is a 24 karat knockout. A blistering
blast sounding like THE VELVET UNDERGOUND on speed instead of heroin. Ominous, threatening and sinister. A wall of repetitive riffage with vocalist/guitarist Craig Dyer’s
mind-boggling vox accentuating the cutting gloominess of this rabid ripper. Hell yeah!

Get doomed right here…

New album MONTAGE IMAGES OF LUST & FEAR out 29th March via Fuzz Club

British Cult Post Punks THE UNDERGOUND YOUTH Share New Inflammable Single ‘THE DEATH OF THE AUTHOR’…

Brand new sonic impulses…

6 February 2019

Inspired by Bob Dylan turning poetry into songs English guitarist/vocalist/songwriter
CRAIG DYER started making music back in 2008. With his band THE UNDERGOUND YOUTH he developed a worldwide cult status following the DIY production of a series of compelling albums and memorable live performances. Their ninth LP, entitled MONTAGE IMAGES OF LUST & FEAR will be out on 29th March via Fuzz Club. Mastermind Craig says the new record is “inspired by the succession of experiences we are increasingly dealt by the media. Sex, violence, love, suspicion, desire, distress, etc. The album acts as a montage itself,
the subject of each song dealing with an aspect of either lust or fear. Like flicking through the channels on a television. Until in the end you are overcome by white noise. Static.”

Here’s lead single THE DEATH OF THE AUTHOR. “A macabre industrial ballad following
the final hours of a down on his luck writer” reveals Craig. It’s a soul-stirring, hypnotic roller coaster exploding fervidly every time the raging chorus kicks in. Wow! Stupefying stuff
with a fevered and delirious impact. Experience the inflammable tour de force right here…
