PSYCHOTIC YOUTH to shine. The band turns an incredible 35 years old and celebrates this by reissuing two of their most famous full lengths, by releasing a brand new album and by streaming a live show.
The band arose in 1985 and by 1989 the label Radium Records released the album "Some Fun" which would become style-forming in its genre of hard fast guitar-pop with voices that would make Beach Boys jealous. Surf, punk and power-pop have been mentioned in the band's wake.
And with additional albums in the 90's like "Be In The Sun", "Juice!" and "Pop" these gentlemen made their mark on many bands around the world before dropping the guitars (temporarily) in 1999.
CASSETTE PRINTED IN 60 EX
This is to celebrate their very first release in 1985 which was a - cassette, which was also printed in 60 copies. Sold only through direct contact with the band to affectionate fans.

It should be fine to mention their 2019 record issued on Dangerhouse Skylab, recordings presented by the band as follow:
After a number of shows, both solo and with Psychotic Youth, time has come to announce our latest record "Straight from the garage"! Back in 2012 we tried to revive our roots by playing 60s garage punk again. I wrote a whole album which never was released. Some tracks ended up on our 2017 and 2019 albums (Good life, Kingdom to be found etc) but the rest was tucked away - until Bruno at Dangerhouse asked if we had any recordings left over. So here you have it here: https://dangerhouse.fr/skylab.php
And can be ordered easily.
