Brighton pop-rockers The Gospel Youth are launching into 2016 with two brand new tracks, both of which are accompanied by official videos.
“‘Resolutions’ and ‘DST’ are a lot darker and probably a lot more bitter than anything anyone’s heard from us,” says vocalist Sam Little, “but I think it’s the best we’ve ever sounded and we’re so excited to finally release them.”
The tracks kick off a single series, supported in-part by The Gospel Youth’s crowd-funding campaign.
“We’re trying something a little different for our second year as a band, something that means we’re basically putting our future in the hands of our fans,” Little continues. “Even though we’re writing new material all the time, going into a studio and recording debut album felt like a mountain to climb when we started speaking about it, and we felt that releasing music gradually suits the way that we operate as a band – it also means the music gets to mature and grow with us. We wanted to give the people that believe in this as much as we do the opportunity to make a real difference, and we think we’ve put together that’s totally worth getting involved in.”
