Young Knives celebrate debut album at HMV

Eccentric British popsters, The Young Knives, celebrate the release of their debut album ‘Voices Of Animals And Men' with a free show and signing session at HMV's flagship store in London's West End on Friday 25th August.

Showtime starts at 6.00 pm after which the Oxford three-piece kick will remain in the store to meet fans and sign copies of the new album which is released Monday 21st August.

For those who have been hiding under a stone for the past year, The Young Knives are the UK's new anti-heroes: they have delivered a collection of incredible, classic British pop songs to boot. Everything from the band's music, videos, artwork and appearance encapsulates in meticulous detail the world of The Young Knives. An un-contrived sketch of Englishness so rich in detail and tapped into the zeitgeist it recalls similarly era-defining works by The Kinks and Pulp.

‘Voices Of Animals And Men' is a classic debut album of such startling diversity that is set to surprise an awful lot of people. In addition to the band's love of 80's UK post-punk, the album also takes in a range of less expected (but no less profound) influences from West Coast pop to English folk. Produced by Gang of Four's Andy Gill, The Young Knives are a triumph for the little man, a victory of substance over style. Despite having entitled one of their own songs ‘We Are The Also Rans', The Young Knives seem set to defy this prophecy and then some.
