Failed Youth’s new album, titled ‘Various Occurrences Whilst Intoxicated by Various Substances’, will be released on 15th of September. The album has been called by Billy a more ‘calm’ side of the band who are known for their fast guitar playing and insane drum solo’s. Billy has also said he’ll be keeping screaming to a minimum on the album. Below are the artwork, the track descriptions, and an interview with the band will be coming soon. 1. I’ve Become Impossible- The album begins very softly. It’s just Tiny on the drums playing a simple beat, Jack playing the flute and then I’m singing. Very simple song which we recorded first time we played it which was exciting. You wouldn’t know it was me unless you’d listened to ‘Youths in Capes’, the vocals are very quiet and stay quiet throughout. Intriguing song that will hopefully make people want to hear more. 2. Illusion - This songs a lot faster and couldn’t be more of a contrast to the first song. Jack picks up his guitar again and the drums are prominent in it. I don’t scream, however I do verge on it. More shouting than screaming. Also we’ve added a few synthesizers which gives this song quite an eerie, physcadelic feel to it. 3. Mr. Maker - Keeps up the pace, however I play the acoustic guitar on this which slows it down a bit. No screaming or shouting in this, actually singing (shock, horror). This should shut up the critics. I like this song, it was good fun recording and it’s a good cheerful tune.4. God Bless You - Ironic song to be honest, because I hate all religeos beliefs and I’m a true aetheist, so we wrote this one about a pop star who constantly tries to help the world, and it’s basically about how everyone wants to hear you sing, but no one wants to hear you talk. 5. We’ve Failed You- Hard, harsh song about parenthood really. Puts you in the spot of a mother who’s a heroin addict and constantly relies on their child to care for them. Really quite emotional lyrics, and I play the acoustic guitar on this and Jack just hits a tambourine. This ones got screaming in it, but only at the start of verse’s. 6. They Told Us To Come In Numbers - Anaaaarrcchyyyyy! About my years as an anarchist and an activist as we called ourselves. Pretty much a fun, real punk tune with brilliant lyrics if I do say so myself. The Prisoners will like it. 7. Revolution!- This ones the opposite of the previous one, and it attacks ‘hardcore’ anarchists when they just like the status it comes with. This ones the most hardcore on the album, with lots and lots of lovely juicy screaming and solos left right and centre. 8. Kill, Kill, Kill - Strange song, no singing. We took the synthesizers with this and just played some simple chords on guitars and messed around with them. We overlapped about 5 different guitars to make a thick, strange sound which is really very creepy. The song builds up to a huge crescendo and then just lets you down slowly. Experimental is the best word. 9. Keep It In Your Sights- Quite an emotional song, very slow for us. Real ‘spliffs up n sway’ song. Memorable, catchy lyrics and a good melody and tune should make this a more pop favourite. You’d think we were Panic! after this. No screaming, just singing. Dare I say it – a pop song? No, I won’t. Because you still know it’s punk. Just it’s catchy. 10. My Original Plan - Basically a song about my life. Keeps up a fast finish to the album and features a lickle bit of screaming at the end but still quite simplistic without an electric guitar. We throw a couple of brass instruments into the mix with this. Billy described the album's genre as 'indie-punk'. Pick it up on the 15th! Edited by user 19 September 2009 03:40:14(UTC)
