“But, hey, in lieu of anything “sunny” you get an absolute earful of pounding noise rock with squalling guitars, a stuttering rhythm section and distortion-laden shouting from five dudes—Manu Mahie (drums), Arjen Verswijvelt (guitar), Victor Goemaere (guitar), Filip Brans (bass), Michiel De Naegel (vocals)—on a sonic mission to annihilate.”
—Decibel Magazine
Watch the video premiere for single “Sunshine,” via Decibel Magazine, here.
Youff is a Belgian noise rock band with members of 30,000 Monkies, Crowd Of Chairs, Maze and Mesher. Known for their energetic live sets and raw, unnerving sound, they keep on attacking the senses, one release at the time. Rooted in the foothills of the infamous H8000 scene, the band started out as a duo in 2014. Drawing inspiration from local exemplars like Rise And Fall or Hessian, as well as weirdo noise related acts such as Lighting Bolt, Arab on Radar, Shit and Shine and Brainbombs. Over the years, they kept shapeshifting, exploring the sonic possibilities of different collaborations and different lineups, as if approaching band members as ingredients to a filthy, increasingly saturated stew. Slowly adding more and more, evolving from a two to a three piece, then a quartet and eventually – for now? – the five-headed formation that brings you Heydays, the band’s 7th release arriving October 27th.
Heydays will be released on limited edition vinyl on Bagdaddy Records, Rockerill Records and Love Mazout Records on October 27th 2023. Preorder, here.
