Spotlight On: YOUNG ADULTS

From the inbox:

YOUNG ADULTS is a band from Allston, Massachusetts, that formed in October 2009, self-releasing a demo in January 2010 that garnered positive press with the help of writers and editors who took a chance and listened. After playing a handful of shows with bands such as Wavves, Male Bonding, Best Coast, Grooms and Iron Chic the band went back to the studio to record a proper full-length LP titled Black Hole. With the help of sound engineer Justin Pizzoferrato (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Hold Steady, etc.) the band has created an ambient punk rock album that will be released to the world on Saturday, November 6th by label-upstart AMDISCS (Prague). The limited run of 500 vinyl records will also be available on Mp3 via iTunes and similar digital music services.

- Surprisingly, the description “ambient punk rock” isn’t as much of a misnomer as it initially seems. Three songs from Black Hole are up on their MySpace page and I recommend a listen.
