Failed Youth... Holy Fuck! It's Failed Youth!Release Date: TBC
Record Label: Comatose
Songwriters: Billy Jacobs; Jack Wilson
Production: Billy Jacobs; Regan Futrell; Jakey Comatose
Recorded at: A hole.
Genre: Folk/Punk/Acoustic/Political Failed Youth are back after their highly successful charity album, and this time with an album recorded just by themselves! This will be their first release since their hiatus in late 2009, and they look to be coming back with their patented acoustic-punk style that they pulled off to such a spectacular amount in 'Youth's In Capes'. After recently signing for record label Comatose after leaving Lepelbos during their hiatus, this will be their first lone album recorded and released for this label. The label, owned by Billy's good friend Jakey Comatose and Regan Futrell will be produced by the three of them in a combined effort. A short track description should be posted nearer the release date, but from now just begins the countdown! 1. Mona Fucking LisaThe opener for the album and it definitely sounds like it. FY nail their 'acoustic hardcore' sound, with Jack ripping the guitar to shreds in this. Brilliantly atmospheric drumming by Tim in the background give it an almost eerie feeling, and finally Billy's tormented screams and shrieks over the top breathe out scorching flames of angst filled anarchistic lyrics. The song is attacking the make-up and pretty hair that the public are obsessed with, calling out materialists and calling for anarchy. 2. Holy Fuck! It's Failed Youth!Another pleasantly titled track, the song begins with an insane drum pattern, accompanied only by static. As the static fades it's replaced by a simple, slow acoustic guitar riff. As another, separate riff joins. After the acoustic guitars, a glockenspiel joins, and then an organ and finally a double bass plays. The song's tempo ebb's and flows, led by the chaotic drumming. The song's entirely instrumental. 3. FatFar more fast than Holy Fuck! It's Failed Youth!, and more on the same line as Mona Fucking Lisa - a catchy Babyshambles-esque pop tune is played with fast drum work with Billy providing political-punk lyrics, refrencing capitalism and politics as a whole, and favouring the chaos of anarchy, displayed by Tim's drumming. 4. ExecutionerAn example of Jack's abilities with a guitar, and not just an electric one, is shown here. A change from Fat in that it's far less pop like, a punked up tale of cocaine and heroin written by Billy is sung beautifully here, telling the story of a man with everything in life and his descent into depression and hopeless addiction.5. Failed Youth Fucking FailedWith the lyrics 'borrowed' from letters of complaint written to Failed Youth about their offensive and obscene song lyrics and idea's, a slightly more cheerful and comedy song. One sure to upset the mothers and grandmothers it's certainly not going to get any airplay, and we'll leave it at that. 6. God BlessNot to sound like too much of a bellend, but this song's actually almost quite romantic. In a dark, twisted, evil tone about a pervert stalker maniac writing a love letter to his victim before he finds her and kills her, but still quite romantic. Almost scarily, you can also sort of begin to reason with him after listening to his story. Pretty intense stuff. Musically, it's quite slow, all acoustic of course and simple, raw. Jakey Comatose influenced us very heavily in this.7. My JournalistWhen your famous there isn't many things that get more fun than taking the piss out of journalist's and the media as a whole. Bringing some humour into it, it's simply mocking the worlds media today for being so twisted and confused it's gone beyond a joke and they've lost all credibility to anyone with half a brain. A quite rebellious song, and so kind of needed a rebellious tone to the music. This one we plugged ourselves in for, but on the bass which provides a deep, loud drone throughout as Jack thrashes away at (at this point in the album) his fifth acoustic guitar.8. Demon's With a more darker tone than the previous song, it's slightly more like depressive song, and the lyric's reflect mental illness, particularly schizophrenia and things like ADHD and tourettes, the latter two that Jack suffers from. An honest, and quite heart-wrenching track that's quite surprising giving it's title. If you're expecting a scream-fest, you aren't going to get one. 9. Line After LineShockingly, it's about cocaine, and about the effects it has on you. The high, not the low. Probably going to be quite controversial, as for once rather than coming with a sob story about drug's we've decided to show why people actually do take them, which we thought would be quite a different aspect to have from the usual 'drugs fuck you up and this is a story about why' that we usually do. Hopefully, you'll feel the same.10. You'll Find Treasure at the End of the Rainbow (And Lot's of Merry Little Lepricons)With the last one about cocaine, this one's about good old cannabis. The title's not really related to anything at all. Just cool. We wrote this in fact, whilst intoxicated, so expect big heavy psychedelic riffs and jazzy tunes to bring the album to a close in a stylish fashion.Artwork:  Edited by user 24 March 2010 09:21:54(UTC)
