Official press release:

Blood Youth have revealed a sinister video for their new song, “Keep You Alive.”The track is taken from the hardcore quartet’s highly anticipated second album, Starve which is due for release through Rude Records on February 22, 2019. Check out the video here:

Frontman, Kaya Tarsus, explains the inspiration behind the song:

“At some point in our lives we will all go through something traumatic. It will change us and stays with us forever. Life is full of heartbreak, death and loss. Events that we have never been taught how to deal with, but we all have to face at some point. I’ve found that the longer we think and dwell on trauma, the longer we keep it alive within us. ‘Keep You Alive’ is the darkest and most diverse song we have ever written as a band. It shows a side of us that has never been seen before, something that we are very excited about. The video was filmed and directed by Zak Pinchin, who we have worked with a few times before. He did an incredible job and produced a video that perfectly encapsulates what the song is about.”

Blood Youth have also revealed the artwork and track listing for Starve, which you can view below. Pre-orders are available now at this link
