Toronto’s masters of melodic hardcore, Brutal Youth, have unveiled their new album, Rebuilding Year, via Stomp Records.
On Rebuilding Year (their 4th long-player), we find the band once again breaking the rules and rewriting their own playbook. 14 songs ranging from mid-tempo melodic sing-alongs to blistering fast knockout tracks (some that even break the 3-minute mark) on a record about dealing with personal ruination, redesign, and redemption. Rebuilding Year is the Brutal Youth’s most well-constructed and cohesive release to date. Tense and brooding about how life can grind you down into nothing, then melodic and resolute to make those necessary changes for the better because, like they say, “you get back what you put in.”
