Yungblud is bringing his 21st Century Liability Tour to The 7th Street Entry on Wednesday, October 17th and trust me when I say you won’t want to miss it. Yungblud is the hip-hop-influenced rock outfit created by musician Dominic Harrison. Born in Yorkshire, England, the singer/songwriter was raised in a musical family. His father was a vintage guitar dealer and his grandfather played with T. Rex. Influenced by Bob Dylan, the Clash, and the Beatles, he played guitar and sang from a young age. In 2017, when he was 19, he issued his debut single, “King Charles,” a genre-blending protest song that fell somewhere between early Arctic Monkeys, Jamie T, and Rat Boy. He followed with the song “I Love You, Will You Marry Me,” which incorporated some dub and grime elements. A major-label deal with Geffen yielded Yungblud’s first collection, an eponymous 2018 EP that included his first two singles alongside three new tracks. The title track and lead single from his forthcoming LP, 21st Century Liability, appeared in May of that year.
Arrested Youth will be opening up for Yungblud. Arrested Youth is a new class of alternative crafted by singer/songwriter Ian Johnson. Growing up in Louisville, Kentucky, Ian was influenced by genre-blending artists like The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kid Cudi, and began writing lyrics at the age of 15. Encouraged by friends and family, he released a series of mixtapes and an EP which made the iTunes Top 25 pop charts.
Tickets are still available here.
