With their Reading and Leeds Festival appearances around the corner, Blood Youth have just dropped a new single in the form of Starve. The track explores a dark expanse of emotional and physical pain.

“Life isn’t always a fairy tale and you can end up trapped in a very unhealthy mindset.” explains frontman Kaya Tarsus.

“I wrote the lyrics when I was going through a bad time and it felt like I was in a nightmare. It’s a very intense and emotional song, so we really wanted all of this to come out in the video. We wanted people to feel uncomfortable, almost as if they are watching a horror movie.”

In October the band head out on tour with Crossfaith:

13th – BRISTOL Marble Factory
15th – GLASGOW Garage
16th – NOTTINGHAM Rock City
17th – MANCHESTER Manchester Academy 2
19th – LONDON Electric Ballroom
