I got an email the other day about this Southern California based duo Youth of the Beast and I almost wrote them off without giving them much of a chance.  Not sure what possessed me not to give them a chance, but I’m glad that I gave them a listen as I’m enjoying the tunes more and more with each listen.  The song I have for you below “Shotgun Army” is easily the most catchy and poppy tune on the band’s recent LP release Seventy Seven.  A lot of the songs have this sort of folk-pop feel about them with the strong Nick Cave like vocals from Adrian Symcox really carrying each and every song.  If you’re feeling this one, the band’s entire album is streaming over on bandcamp.
