Young Knives released Barbarians last year.
Young Knives have announced some UK dates for later in 2021 – their first in seven years.
The UK leg is due to kick-off in Glasgow on November 11th, and will visit Manchester, London, Brighton, Birmingham, Leeds and Cardiff.
Into 2022, and there’s European shows planned too – in Amsterdam, Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin, Copenhagen and Paris.
Barbarians came within a whisker of Live4ever’s end-of-year 2020 albums list after our review praised it as, ‘bloody, brutal and brilliant’:
“There are simply places which sound magnificently more cracked than others; I Am Awake is the formula at its basic but arguably most effective, an anthem created by this oddest of fusions, queasy almost synth-pop dragged out of a darkened room.”
“The title-track froths with post-civilisation angst and Sheep Tick pulls a stupendous chorus from the a primordial soup of smack, hisses and violent collisions.”
