‘Is Blood’ is more chaotic triumph from Youth Sector, but with a real hard-hitting sense of gravity

The outfit continue to shine on their first release of 2022

Boasting an unpredictable volatility and frenetic sense of fun, Brighton band Youth Sector are an outfit that, armed with a distinctive sound and infectious energy, are hard to resist.

Latest release ‘Is Blood’ sees the outfit utilising their skittish guitars and unique bravado to paint a more serious picture. Guitarist and lead vocalist Nick Tompkins considers the cost and general disregard for life that colonisers and others have had when developing their societies and amassing fortunes and amenities. There is a real polished, smoothness and upbeat feel to the sound among the chaos that provides an interesting disconnect with the subject matter. Youth Sector continue to make you dance and think simultaneously, and do a stellar job of it.
