HORRIBLE YOUTH - Blissful Tropes

HORRIBLE YOUTH was started in Norway by Agust Bent in 2018 when he had a bunch of songs and nowhere to put them. It was simple, just round up old buddies from the Icelandic rockscene right? Nah with the Atlantic between them things were difficult. The boys still managed to play some shows and secured a record deal. Agust moved back to Iceland in the summer of 2019 and their debut album was released in September the same year.

They have done the rounds in all radiostations in Iceland that play rock as well as a few underground podcasts abroad. The band has played Icelandic Airwaves Festaval and was booked on a few festavils in the summer before everything got cancelled.

Wounds Bleed album was recorded between Iceland and Norway in various studios where the internet was the only constant. Recorded by Magnus Leifur who runs Aldingardurinn Studios in Iceland. It's about the contrast of living the family life and doing the rock thing. Life gets in the way of the lifestyle but at the same time saves us from being absorbed by it. Also small things like war, suffering and conspiracy theories. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But the name does paint a picture. A picture they want us to keep in mind when we listen to the songs and hear those lyrics.

Band Members:
Agust Bent: Vocals/Guitar

The song "Blissful Tropes" is about getting older but still being tormented by teenage angst. Listen here:
