Kill The Young their second single "ADDICTION" on Discograph Records on 104th APRIL 2006.

Based in Manchester, Kill the Young are three brothers in their early twenties who deal in crashing choruses and arresting anthems and have already peformed over 350 gigs in the last 7 years. They write the type of tunes that could only have been produced by uncommon kids trapped in an isolated northern town - getting their kicks, as they did, from Cobain, Curtis and Corgan.

The band were discovered playing at In The City Music seminar by French label Discograph and signed to the label last year. Then, whilst playing a label gig in Paris, the band were spotted by Dimitri Tikovoi (Placebo, Goldfrapp, John Cale, Alpinestars, Marc Almond). The legendary producer went on to record their forthcoming eponymous debut album in just three weeks.

The record is mixed by Flood (New Order, Depeche Mode, U2, Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, PJ Harvey) and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Beastie Boys, Bjork).

Musically, Kill The Young are a mosaique of transatlantic influences. They are as much the sons of US indie rock bands Sonic Youth and Smashing Pumpkins as they are the heirs of the UK post-punk scene Magazine, Wire and Echo and the Bunnymen.

The name Kill The Young is reference to the current state of modern Western society and the pressure being applied to young people to grow up too quickly. By eating into the time spent being carefree and young, society is effectively killing youth and snuffing out any possibility of rebellion or counter-culture.

This year KTY wil be touring most of Europe, having already done 6 weeks in France they now start they Uk leg and go to other Countries such as Italy, Belgium and Switzerland. They will also be performing at many festivals this year, including Germany's Rock AM ring, Portugal's Rock in Rio, Marocco's Casablanca Festival and Paris' Solidays.
Their debut album has been released in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy. It will also soon be released in UK, USA, Germany.
