Gang of Youths’ current album angel in realtime. saw the band make the biggest international impact of their career to date. It saw them achieve their first UK Top 10 chart position, complete a sold-out UK headline tour that called at the O2 Academy Brixton, as well as three show-stealing US TV performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, CBS Mornings and just last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with an incredible performance of ‘forbearance’. Gang of Youths are currently completing a North American headline tour which has included numerous sold-out shows and a set at the Shaky Knees Festival.
Shortly after the release of the critically adored ANGEL IN REALTIME., Gang of Youths completed a Spectrum Session for SiriusXM. The session now receives its official release as Gang of Youths’ new EP, IMMOLATION TAPE. The four-track EP includes their take on the Wilco classic ‘A Shot In The Arm’, a fan favourite and live staple that originally featured on their 1999 album, SUMMERTEETH. Gang of Youths take a streamlined approach to the song, pulling back its tension and layered details in a way that feels both fresh and respectful to the original.
Gang of Youths commented, “Just wanted to chuck it out there for a laugh.”
IMMOLATION TAPE features brilliant new acoustic performances of three landmark moments from angel in realtime. with ‘in the wake of your leave’, ‘forbearance’ and ‘spirit boy’. The stripped back approach provides a fresh warmth and intimacy to these already emotionally charged songs, putting greater emphasis on Dave Le’aupepe’s impassioned vocals and Tom Hobden’s stirring string contributions.
Gang of Youths will play select European festival dates throughout the summer, calling at Glasgow’s TRNSMT, before playing their major Australian tour which features their personally curated festival A More Perfect Union . A second run of North American dates follows in September, and then their rescheduled European tour commences in October. Please see HERE for a full list of dates.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
