Brutal Youth Share “Through The Teeth” & Announce New Album “Rebuilding Year”

Toronto’s Brutal Youth have just announced that their new full length, Rebuilding Year, will be released on April 21st via Stomp Records, ahead of the album;’s release the band have also revealed an advance single and video for the song Through The Teeth. The single calls to mind late 80’s and early 90’s West Coast punk, with hints of Down By Law, Bad Religion and Lagwagon scattered throughout. The melodic vocals of Patty O’Lantern dig into the themes of self loathing and isolation while the wall of guitars and pounding backbeat pushes the song to a crescendo of three part harmonies.

“It’s a pretty sour hate song honestly. To be truthful the entire first half of the record sort of feels that way. Sad, sour, aimlessly kind of wallowing in self pity. Melancholy, brooding, woe is me type stuff. This song stews for sure. This one was one of the first songs we had for the album, the idea was to try and have an album with more tempos instead of them all being spit in your face fast. Not that we don’t love spit in your face fast music, but I think we’ve done that and this was to be a bit of a departure and some space for growth. The breakdown originally had no words and it felt a bit empty, I’m pretty chuffed with the end result.” (Patty O’Lantern)
