DEBUT ALBUM ‘WASTED ON YOUTH’ OUT ON JANUARY 30TH.

Clocking in at under 2 minutes, single is a frenetic ball of punk fury from teenage siblings Matt and Issey Cartlidge. It is the opening track from the debut album and sets the tone for a record packed with punk and indie classics. Matt said: “song is one of those tracks where as soon as the opening riffs come in, the whole room goes mad. It’s a punk song. We love Buzzcocks, Libertines, The Horrors, The Jam, Sex Pistols – we love The Undertones. It’s a pretty angry song, pretty pointed, and I can’t possibly tell you who it’s directed at!”

“Are you ready
For me to take you somewhere?
Do I frustrate you
Like chewing gum stuck in your hair?”

Despite their young ages, Matt, 17, and Issey, 19, have played more than 600 shows, both in their home town of London and around the world. They’ve shared stages with the likes of Sex Pistols feat Frank Carter, Blondie and The Libertines, and last summer won support slots with Iggy Pop and The Damned in the US. The grassroots venues at which they honed their craft are close to their heart and before Christmas they played a special fundraising show for the Music Venue Trust at Bush Hall – a west London venue that they helped save. Issey said: “Bush Hall is very important to us and we were proud to play a show 2024 – with a surprise appearance from Sex Pistol Paul Cook – that capped off the campaign to save it. But so many other vital venues are struggling to stay afloat. The UK has a long history of producing some of the greatest rock acts in the world but without the right places to play, those artists will struggle to grow and break through.”
