Armed and ready to rock, Brighton's raucous, garage riff monsters Demob Happy are set to follow their 2014 debut single ‘Succubus’ with the equally grab-onto-your-knickers ‘Young & Numb’, due for release later this year via the band's own Milk Parlour Records.
Thrashing a few chords to infinity, ‘Young & Numb’ comes laced with feedback and fuzz, while lyrically the track is less the nihilistic stoner manifesto that its namesake could allude to, and more a vicious rumination on the dazed efforts made to drag knowledge and meaning from the bedlam of youth.
“It's my frustration about the fact that no one is willing to step out of line at a time when we think our freedoms are greater than ever before, when actually our personal freedoms of expression aren't. It's about how no one wants to have an opinion anymore,” frontman Matt Marcantonio explains.
With a live show reputation for energy and chaos, the four-piece hit the road again through March and April, and also take in their first excursion into Europe.
