Pop rock band\u00a0Young Culture<\/strong>\u00a0is thrilled to share \u201c21 Days<\/strong>,\u201d previously streaming onBillboard\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0now available everywhere.<\/a>\u00a0The song comes from the band\u2019s forthcoming EP and\u00a0Rude Records (in partnership w\/ Equal Vision Records)\u00a0<\/strong>debut,\u00a0(This Is) Heaven<\/em><\/strong>, out\u00a0January 18<\/strong>th<\/sup><\/strong>,\u00a02019<\/strong>. The EP also features \u201cDrift,<\/strong>\u201d the previously released single co-produced by Derek DiScanio (State Champs<\/strong>) and Sam Guiana (Seaway, Coldfront<\/strong>). Pre-orders for\u00a0(This Is) Heaven<\/em>\u00a0are available now at\u00a0<\/strong>youngculture.merchnow.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cWriting this song was a perfect opportunity to take a dark situation and make it into something beautiful. I guess you could say that\u2019s the theme for the new EP, which is why we felt \u201921 Days\u2019 was a perfect song to release at this time<\/em>,\u201d shares lead singer\u00a0Alex Magnan<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re so grateful to the people who take time to check out our music as well as our fans who\u2019ve been there since day one. This is just the beginning, we promise. There is so much more ahead.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s not often that a rock or punk band will make a hip-hop style mixtape just to clear their creative cobwebs. But that\u2019s exactly what Albany-based four-piece Young Culture did. Formed by school friends\u00a0Alex Magnan<\/strong>\u00a0(vocals) and\u00a0Gabe Pietrafesa<\/strong>\u00a0(guitar), who have been playing together for a number of years, Young Culture put out their debut mini-album,\u00a0You<\/em>,<\/strong>\u00a0in the summer of 2016. It was followed up with a five-track EP calledBlue<\/em><\/strong>. The former had a song, \u201cBedroom Floor<\/strong>\u201d that featured Derek DiScanio from\u00a0State Champs<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 a fellow Albany band \u2013 on backing vocals. The latter was co-produced by him and Seth Henderson, who\u2019s worked with the likes of\u00a0Real Friends, Knuckle Puck<\/strong>\u00a0andSleep On It<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Young Culture \u2013 completed now by guitarist\u00a0Troy Burchett<\/strong>\u00a0and drummer\u00a0Nick Cavin<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 toured those songs and began to build up a solid following, which remains strong today. But instead of working on new material for the band, the pair, fuelled by an inherent restless creativity, began to experiment, Pietrafesa sending Magnan different beats to write lyrics over just to keep their inspiration and creative juices flowing.<\/p>\n A complete 180 to the music Young Culture had made previously, the band released them as a mixtape under the abbreviated moniker\u00a0YC<\/strong>. The songs served as an important writing exercise for the pair to sharpen their skills when it came back round to writing \u2018real\u2019 Young Culture songs.<\/p>\n That influence is very much evident in songs like \u201cDrift<\/strong>\u201d, a song that not only redefined who Young Culture is as a band, but also reshaped the perimeters of pop-punk – although it should be noted that they\u2019re very wary of being confined to just that genre. As they should be, because there are many more layers to this band.<\/p>\n 2018 has ushered in a brand new phase of Young Culture\u2019s existence, evident in the their latest single \u201c21 Days<\/strong>\u201d as well as the rest of new EP\u00a0(This Is) Heaven<\/em>. They might now be just 20 years old, but both Pietrafesa and Magnan\u2019s attitude and songwriting ability display a maturity way beyond their years. And while this isn\u2019t an entirely new beginning, it certainly marks the start of something that\u2019s thoroughly unique, electrifying and engaging.<\/p>\n Young Culture will release\u00a0(This Is) Heaven<\/em>\u00a0on January 18th<\/sup>, 2019 via Rude Records (in partnership w\/ Equal Vision Records).
