It seems there’s barely ever any good news here. It is with a heavy heart that I note the end of another of my favourite bands.Youthmovies announced their split shortly before the end of last year. It’s not unexpected as things have been quiet on that front for quite some time, and it is well known that the band members no longer live near enough to make being an active band a viable option. Still it is galling as they were spectacularly good the last time I saw them live. Rarely have I seen a band play so tightly, accurately and with such confidence.
For a seven year career (in their various guises) their two mini albums, two EPs and one album perhaps seems like a poor return. However the quality more than makes up for the relative paucity of releases. There is to be one more tour, for which I will definitely make my way to at least one date. Rumour has it that they’ll again be supported by their excellent sometime collaborator Adam Gnade once more as well. Here’s to another great band, which will be missed by many.
