Young Statues - Album release

On November 8^th, the same day that Brit pop sensation Noel Gallagher will release his much anticipated solo record, said to be the answer to his brother  Liam’s earlier release from which an oasis of bad blood (and puns) has been germinating, a subtle band of rockers called Young Statues (Run for Cover records) will release their self-titled debut. The Philadelphia/New Jersey natives have been simmering their sound together since 2010 and are poised to bring back the clean power chords and wondering high notes that were the anthems of college dorms everywhere just a decade ago. Based on their two-song bandcamp.com pre-releases, they manage to carry the energy of punk rock without the distortion pedals and tired gag lyrics. Clean cut front man Carmen Cirignano isn’t however without a good sense of humour. “Legendary mullet,” he tweeted facetiously in late October linking to a picture of a young Jaromir Jagr sporting 80’s Iron Maiden hair. With a few dates planned in NYC and NJ, followed by seven shows in the UK in November, YS are planning to bring Noel a little American hospitality and hopefully draw some of the mainstream hype into the gutters of indie rock.
