***Reigning from the burbs of Portland in late 2003, AUTISTIC YOUTH has spent the past 10 years touring and releasing records in North America and Europe. After almost three years since their last full length record, Autistic Youth is releasing their junior LP. Drawing from both classic and obscure influences, Nonage is more refined, yet remains true to the sound they've had for so many years. Nonage was recorded and produced by Autistic Youth, ADAM BECKER and MATTHEW MORGAN at Red Lantern studios in Portland, OR this past winter. AY's upcoming West Coast tour with Freedom Club begins in November with a European tour to follow in February. LPs come in a gatefold sleeve with download coupon.

***Long awaited second album from hardworking PDX youngsters, following up their classic Landmine Beach LP, as well as singles on Black Water, Rock Bottom, Taken By Surprise, and more. Driving, melodic punk / hardcore (but NOT "melodic hardcore" if ya get the distinction) with dark, swirling undercurrents. Catchy but not at all vapid. Sounding like a cross between Portland, Southern California, and Copenhagen, you could compare this to bands like Observers / Red Dons, No Hope For The Kids, Articles Of Faith, Reagan Youth, The Wipers, Adolecscents, etc. Co-release with Dirtnap / Black Water in the US and Taken By Surprise / Sabotage in Europe.
