HOLY YOUTH MOVEMENT + Guests7pm, Thursday 14th November, The Portland Arms, Cambridge
Holy Youth Movement ( HYM ) are a 5 piece band hailing from Bristol, consisting of Drums, Bass, Guitar, Keyboards and Vocals. Their sound is a heavy mix of Rock n Roll and Electronica fuelled by Daance Floor Rhythms, driving Bass and a huge wall of Synthesizers and Guitars, all topped off with soaring anthemic Vocals and melodies.
Citing bands like Primal Scream, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Stooges and dance acts like The Chemical Brothers & Underworld as major influences, H.Y.M have managed to combine elements of both Rock n Roll and Dance / Electronica into their immense sound.
After writing songs & developing their new sound they approached legendary Producer Jagz Kooner (who has worked with the likes of Primal Scream, Kasabian, Oasis as well as a host of Dance luminairies such as Andrew Weatherall, The Sabres Of Paradise & Soulwax ) to take care of production duties on all their songs. Jagz was instantly hooked after hearing the album demos and totally blown away when he saw the band in rehearsals. He commented that they were one of the best live bands he'd ever seen and said the music was the perfect amalgamation of what he best described as “Electronic Rock n Roll”.
So far H.Y.M have self funded and released 4 singles of which 2 have had sporadic plays on Radio X. John Kennedy made their single " Better Together" an Exposure Hot One on his show on Radio X as well. The huge potential of syncs for H.Y.M music was highlighted when Scotts Menswear used their debut single " You Thought I Was Dead ( But Baby Im Just getting Started) " on a viral social media campaign for their clothing range. The band have just released their debut 4 track E.P entitled “ The Shock Of The Future” . HYM signed with Ditto for the release and John Kennedy has once again championed songs from the EP on his Radio X show.
Having previously Supported Primal Scream (on their Maximum Rock n Roll tour) as well as The Dandy Warhols and a string of festival performances including Glastonbury, Truck Fest and Beautiful Days (where they were considered to be 1 of the high lights of the entire weekend) they are now finally announcing their first ever UK Tour! Holy Youth Movement will be appearing live at various venues around the UK in November and their shows are a jaw dropping live experience not to be missed!
Tickets priced £10 are on sale from Friday 19th July from Seetickets.
