The band are currently in the middle of a UK headline tour in support of the new record, with forthcoming appearances at Reading & Leeds Festival, Afropunk Festival, Wickerman Festival, Hevy Fest, One Beat Fest and more to be announced.
Live At The Lab is a brand new series of filmed live sessions focusing on bringing the best bands the UK has to offer to a wider audience, performing live in session at Soundlab Studios, Essex.
“We wanted to focus on showing people great bands from the UK underground scene in the most natural way possible” comments director Jack Longman “and to us that’s via a live performance. In this episode we have Youth Man from Birmingham tearing the studio to bits with three raging tracks. Make sure to check them out live on their headline tour – as you can see from the session, these guys absolutely kill it.”
