YOUNG WIDOWS "SETTLE DOWN CITY" CD (JT1119) OUT TODAY
The three members of YOUNG WIDOWS emerged from the dissolution of BREATHER RESIST with a new vision steeped in dark, brooding grooves and moody post-punk. From the reverb-drenched inspiration of Regulator Watts/Hoover to the bass and drums lock-groove perfected by Shellac and the Jesus Lizard, YOUNG WIDOWS gladly wears influences on its sleeve. The signature inventive guitar work of vocalist/guitarist Evan Patterson (Black Cross, The National Acrobat) is at its peak here, while the rhythm section of Nick Thieneman (also of Black Cross) and Geoff Paton lays down syrup-thick grooves, recalling Pacific Northwest heavyweights (think Melvins, Karp, even Nirvana), and British post-punk, ala Gang Of Four. Settle Down City (JT1119), their Jade Tree debut, contains 11 songs of hypnotic, heavy, noise-rock anthems.

Settle Down City is out today and available in digital form from iTunes, eMusic, Urge, Yahoo, Virgin Digital, FYE, HMV, and Cdigix.

YOUNG WIDOWS are also preparing to embark on a European tour with Akimbo. Check out the tour page for full info.
