About this Event
Wild Youth announce a headline Button Factory show Friday October 22nd 2021! Tickets €15.00 and are available from Eventbrite.ie.
"No doubt a band currently in the midst of a stratospheric ascendance, Wild Youth have exploded onto the scene with their infinitely catchy and buoyant brand of indie-pop. Homegrown, humble fun is the main preoccupation of the Irish quartet –comprised of lead vocalist DavidWhelan,songwriter and multi-instrumentalist ConorO'Donohoe, lead guitaristEd Porter and drummer Callum McAdam –whose collective self-assured swagger has caught eyes and ears everywhere.
A penchant for “sad bangers”, aka blood-pounding choruses, heart-stompingly gorgeous melodies, and deft lyricism, as well as the Dublin outfit’s hip-shaking moves and peppy vigour, means it is music designed to fill huge arenas or to be heard crackling out over a sun-soaked festival stage. And their far-reaching influences are evident: from the kinetic funk-tinged arrangements of Prince, to the boundary-pushing angst of The Walkmen and Tame Impala’s hypnotic psych-pop –a melting pot of innovative sounds run through their tracks. And undeniably, their prowess lies in their live showmanship, a commitment to spectacle, energy, and good, good times.
Wild Youth have recorded an EP to follow on from last year’s highly acclaimeddebut EP “The Last Goodbye”, with an album soon to follow. “I think we’re more comfortable in our own skin a bit more now, and I think it’s coming across just by us taking more risks on this new music,” teases Conor. “Our next single still sounds like a Wild Youth song, but you can hear more of our alternative influences coming through, like nods to Tame Impala, and it’s like nothing anyone would have heard us do before.”
