Lay It on Thick
Don't be fooled by their bearded indie (beardie?) exterior — Young Widows know how to rock it hardcore. In a previous existence (read: the band Breather Resist) the Kentucky-based trio were all about aggro metal. After that band's break-up, Young Widows arose from the ashes offering a strikingly different, yet familiar, sound. The lads are currently touring in support of their latest album, Youth and Lightness, which takes the hardcore metal and tamps it down into a thick, fuzzy rock, loaded with reverb and post-punk leanings.
