Hey! We're Young Fatigue, a sleepy punk band from London. Our sound is a blend of 90's grunge and 00's pop-punk.
We formed the band not only to make the music we love - but also as an outlet for the messed up world we live in.
Sadly our current drummer Charlie is stepping down after receiving a dream job offer and no longer has the time needed to commit to the band. That means we're looking for someone new to take the reigns, smash the kit up and generally just join us for the ride.

Since forming during Covid, we've released 5 songs - all of which have received BBC Introducing support. We've also made it onto a handful of editorial playlists and played a tonne of gigs around the South-East, including some smaller sold-out shows and festivals.
We've also just recorded our debut EP with producer Ian Sadler (Gender Roles, ROAM) - and let's just say we're super happy with the mixes. Also happy to share them with people interested in joining once we've had a proper chat.
General plan is establish the new line up, do a big push with a single release and then ride that momentum and see where that takes us as we progress with releasing the EP. We've been off the radar for the last year due to scheduling conflicts - however Michael and I are very much willing and committed to putting the time in gigging and making content to get things going.
So what are we looking for?
Someone tight on the drums and can bring a lot of energy on stage.
London-based (or is able and willing to regularly travel into London for rehearsals).
Able to commit a lot of time and energy to the band - with the long term goal of making this a career
Someone who aligns with the values of the band. While we like to goof around - we're also a punk band. Tories and terfs need not apply.
Other than that, age, gender, look - is all pretty much irrelevant. If you love playing music and you vibe well with the band, that's all that really matters.
We'll probably want to organise a little chat with people interested first - just so we can make sure everyone is on the same page, before having a jam sesh to see how we all vibe together.
If all that is up your street and you like our sound, hit us up and let's make some catchy sh*t together.
Ash & Michael
