Post-hardcore band YUNGER have released their new single “Don’t Want To Lose”, featuring the vocalist of Veil Of Maya, Lukas Magyar. Produced by Beau Burchell of Saosin, the song brings a refreshing level of intensity and raw emotion to the genre. “Don’t Want To Lose” reflects on the fear of not being good enough, vocalist Jay Malcuit explains :
“This song was a fun one to collaborate on with Lukas of Veil of Maya. It was written about the fear of rejection coming back into a field that you once had confidence in. I wrote this about the feeling that I had with previous projects. That I felt like I was actually making strides towards accomplishing my dreams. Coming back to it with a fresh mind and a new outlook definitely had plenty of aspects of it that worried me immensely. Mostly the fear of failure or rejection. I feel that’s an emotion most people could relate to. The fear of not being good enough.” – Jay Malcuit
YUNGER began in Northern California in 2018 as a couple of guys passionate about creating rock music and playing shows. In 2020, YUNGER entered the studio with Beau Burchell (Saosin, Senses Fail, Middle Class Rut, Hail The Sun) to create their second EP. With the upcoming EP, YUNGER weaves grunge, shoegaze, emo, and dark pop elements into their songs, abandoning the expectations placed on modern rock music to forge their own path. The Sacramento post-hardcore outfit aims to create organic, heartful, and purposeful music to present a message of hope through the lyrics, inspiring people to overcome their own struggles.
