Yung - Nobody Cares

The Danish four-piece have been tearing up their home country on the live circuit - now they’re laying down the international gauntlet with ‘Nobody Cares’

9th January 2015

Recorded two months after their formation in 2013, Yung’s ‘Nobody Cares’ bristles with a sense of urgency and frustration in equal measure, played out over relentless, fuzz-drenched guitars. Frontman Mikkel Holm Silkjær’s vocals, while not the prettiest thing in the world, capture the angst and frustration of youth, balancing on a knife-edge between the caustic and the apathetic, with the drawled refrain of ‘Nobody Cares’ less-than-subtly demonstrating this.

More than a year after its recording ‘Nobody Cares’ will finally see the light of day as part of the Danish four-piece’s debut international release ‘Alter’. That it’s taken so long for a label to pick Yung up and release overseas is completely incredible, but it’s better late than never for a band who have been tearing up their homeland over the past couple of months with their off-the-wall live show. It’s perhaps a bit early in the day to be celebrating them as the voice of a generation, but what ‘Nobody Cares’ shows is that Yung are at the very least a band with a distinctive voice, and one well worth paying attention to over the next few months.
