Last week Yungblud released the video for “Psychotic Kids”. The video, directed by Adam Powell (The 1975, Pale Waves) can be viewed HERE. “I wanted to create something you can’t ignore,” said Dominic Harrison (Yungblud). “I miss videos that are theatrical. Growing up I was obsessed with the visuals of artists like Bowie, Lady Gaga, The Beastie Boys and Marilyn Manson. “Psychotic Kids” is, in Harrison’s own words, a song about “people with old ideologies trying to hospitalize the younger generation’s way of thinking—treating them almost like an experiment. Our mental health is questioned because there is fear to adopt ‘new’ ways of thinking. People are always afraid of things they don’t understand and instead of confronting fear, it’s so much easier to pass it off as insanity.”
Born in Yorkshire, Yungblud partly credits his razor-sharp lyricism to his lifelong love of literary-minded songwriters like Bruce Springsteen and Chris Difford from Squeeze. A multi-instrumentalist who plays guitar, bass, piano, and drums, he first picked up a guitar at age two and began writing his own songs at age 10. At an early age, Yungblud moved to London to kick-start his career and refine his musical vision, a process aided by his rediscovery of firebrand artists like The Clash, Arctic Monkeys, and N.W.A. He made his debut with “I Love You, Will You Marry Me” — a song whose gritty storytelling recounts the real-life tale of a tragic romance at a public housing project in South Yorkshire. Featured on 21st Century Liability, “I Love You, Will You Marry Me” also appeared on his self-titled debut EP — an early-2018 release that prompted the NME to praise Yungblud for delivering “the lyrics of a young Alex Turner, the fury of Sex Pistols leader John Lydon, the swagger of hip-hop king Travis Scott and a whole load of spirit that’s all his own.”
