In a world tilting toward chaos, Youth Code have returned to soundtrack the collapse.
Known as the next big thing on the Industrial/Hardcore/EBM scene since its inception in 2012, YOUTH CODE—the Los Angeles duo and married couple Sara Taylor and Ryan George—have returned to soundtrack the collapse.
Forged in the chaos of underground punk shows and sharpened by years of relentless touring and experimentation, Youth Code are back with a new five-track EP, ‘Yours, With Malice’. Drawing on the punishing intensity of hardcore, the cold precision of industrial, and touches of trance and noise, the band doesn’t just re-enter the scene—they level it.
Across 17 minutes, ‘Yours, With Malice’ delivers a sound that feels both feral and focused—like the future screaming through a blown-out speaker. Tracks like “No Consequence” and “Wishing Well” pulse with claustrophobic fury, while “In Search of Tomorrow” offers a rare glimmer of aching vulnerability inside the storm.
With 3 albums under their belt—including a collaboration with King Yosef—and comparisons to AUTHOR & PUNISHER, HEALTH, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Front Line Assembly, and Skinny Puppy, YOUTH CODE have become a defining force in modern industrial. Their recent signing to Sumerian Records (home of bands such as Animals As Leaders, Between The Buried And Me, Circa Survive or The Dillinger Escape Plan) marks a new era—one where their uncompromising sound is set to reach even further.
Invigorated, evolved, and emotionally raw, Youth Code are no longer just cult favorites. They’re a storm system accelerating toward the mainstream—and ‘Yours, With Malice’ is the warning siren.
