Youth Fountain releases their much anticipated sophomore LP, Keepsakes & Reminders, via Pure Noise Records. Frontman Tyler Zanon describes the album as “…a collection of songs that represent the past 4 years of my life, touching on topics about ends of relationships, constant battles with mental health, growing older and emptier every day and left with past memories and items of times where everything seemed alright.” Keepsakes & Reminders has won over the masses, with the album’s debut single “Scavenger” being picked up for rotation on SiriusXM Faction Punk and idobi radio. The uniquely-filmed duel video for the two tracks, “My Mental Health” and “Century” were premiered via the Dreambound channel, and the album itself has been praised by the likes of New Noise Magazine, Rock Sound, and Mike Howell of the Lead Singer Syndrome podcast.
Fans can stream Youth Fountain’s newest LP, Keepsakes & Reminders today on all DSPs and physical copies, as well as merch, are available via Pure Noise Records here. When asked about how he feels releasing this LP, Tyler Zanon states:
“Super grateful to have the opportunity to release the long-anticipated sophomore LP after years of hard work put into making it all possible. I really hope it means something to every YF fan, old and new” –Tyler Zanon
What began as a solo project by guitarist/vocalist Tyler Zanon in 2013 under the name Bedroom Talk eventually blossomed into a full-blown band by 2017, with the Vancouver-based Youth Fountain (then a duo) proudly announcing their presence with the debut single “Grinding Teeth” and a pair of Pure Noise Records releases that expertly toed the line between pop-punk fervor and more reflective emo moments. Alternative Press hailed the band’s 2019 debut full-length, Letters To Our Former Selves, as one of the year’s very best, dubbing it the “perfect blend of emo-tinged punk to soundtrack reflecting on every single life decision you’ve ever made,” while North American tours with the likes of Free Throw, Can’t Swim, and Chris Farren cemented Youth Fountain’s sweat-soaked sound as something best experienced live – all while dodging a few stray elbows and overzealous crowd-surfers.
With a new energy and determination empowering Zanon, there’s a lot on the horizon for Youth Fountain. Tyler has spent the majority of the pandemic working on this latest collection of songs, and re-centering himself on why he began making music in the first place. In many ways, this musical rebirth is the best thing that could have ever happened for him, a chance for him to fall back in love with his own songwriting ability and bravely dare to continue pushing its limits under no one’s terms but his own. Keepsakes & Reminders is just the start of what’s to come for this band.
