"These fresh-faced Montrealers may look boyish, buttheir post-punk sound is timeless and tough." - Montreal Mirror
The Blood on the Streets 7” is nowavailable for pre-order via the band’s bandcamp page.
Constantly walking the thin line between genius andpsychosis, Montreal’s YOUNG LUNGS are anything but juvenile. Hailing fromMontreal’s South Shore, close friends Guillaume Carrol (Bass), Justin Ross(guitar) and Gervais Robinson (drums) yearned for something different than thecarbon copy acts that populated the clubs of their city. Too hardcore for theindie crowd, too indie for the hardcore crowd, the boys had no choice but tocut their own path. Their unique sound was forged in a suburban basement-crystallized by countless hours of disciplined practice verging on the edge ofself-flagellation. This intense practice was not in vain -- Young Lungs’ hoursof rehearsal produced such a polished finish that they boast the ability toplay entire flawless sets while blindfolded. Until only recently, the storiestold through the melodies they fashioned were known to them alone, as YoungLungs years of refining their sound came without a single public performance.In the summer of 2011, Young Lungs decided to resurface from the depths oftheir own self-imposed exile and are finally ready to share their music withthe world.
Consisting of only three members, Young Lungs’ sound can bedescribed as anything but thin. Drummer Gervais Robinson is his own worstcritic and lays claim to the fact that he will never use the same beat twice.Robinson’s obsession pushes the boundaries of Young Lungs’ rhythm section as hedoes the work of two percussionists. Guillaume Carroll and Justin Ross serve asthe band’s two main song-writers; drawing from influences ranging from surfmusic to shoegaze, from the Pixies to Gang of Four, the two attempt to createchaotic arrangements that evoke both a sense of familiarity and unease in theiraudience, making the listener ask themselves “why can’t more songs be thiscatchy and psychotic at the same time?” Young Lungs somehow manage to filterno-wave guitar tones through power pop sensibilities, creating a sound thatMeet You At The Show called a “fast paced modern punk rock meets Wolf Paradefusion.”
Their debut EP, Blood on the Streets, wasproduced by Omar Hussain (of Montreal noise-rockers AIM Low) and mastered byJon Drew (Fucked Up/Tokyo Police Club/Arkells/Magneta Lane). Blood onthe Streets is slated for release on May 15.
