“It felt like everybody had already figured us out as a band<\/em>.\u201d<\/h2>\n

Predictability can be the downfall of any band. Rehashing the same album every couple of years grows old, and it can be too easy for fans to drop off, believing they\u2019ve heard all there is to offer. Yorkshire natives Blood Youth<\/strong> have realised this in the two years since the release of their debut album, \u2018Beyond <\/em>Repair\u2019, a period that has brought them great adventure as well as a few lessons.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Beyond Repair\u2019<\/em> was very much the same formula as our EPs. We knew we were writing an album that Blood Youth <\/strong>fans would really like<\/em>,\u201d says lead singer Kaya Tarsus. \u201cTowards the end of the cycle, everything we read and stuff people would say to us, everyone had already predicted what the next album would sound like. It felt like everybody had already figured us out as a band<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tired of being pigeonholed and considered the underdogs, Blood Youth<\/strong> came together to begin writing an album that would get them noticed, even at the potential expense of some long-time fans. \u201cWe wrote half an album before,<\/em>\u201d admits Kaya. \u201cIt sounded exactly like \u2018Beyond Repair\u2019. We could probably have written that 20 times, so we were like let\u2019s actually do something a little bit challenging. Some people are going to hate it, but we hope that people will love it and get where we\u2019re going<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
