Sauna Youth, Death Stuff, DiCaprio, Anticipation

From the venue:

Like any great band, regardless of genre, London post-punk outfit Sauna Youth knows how to synthesize influences while inserting its own voice and style into the mix. Guitarist Lindsay Corstorphine’s angular hooks, Richard Phoenix’s pummeling drums, Christopher Murphy’s skulking basslines, and Jen Calleja’s incisive lyrics evoke the best of Sonic Youth and the Pop Group. Yet Sauna Youth clearly grasps for more than easy comparisons with punk legends. Its latest release, Distractions, ramps up the group’s energy levels tenfold on songs like “Creeping,” where percussive excess and propulsive guitar runs play off each other with spastic glee.
