Sauna Youth are an English four-piece whose music feels like a punk overture to a high-speed rollercoaster thrill ride. Their video for “The Bridge,” pulled from their full-length release Distractions, sees the band — including Lindsay Corstorphine from Primitive Parts on guitar — looking too-cool-for-school and playing their instruments amidst an array of youths clad in gym clothes. They seem like the artsy emo kids in grade school you were always too scared to talk to (unless you were one of them), and that’s a reflection of their music: explosive, no-holds barred, high-energy punk. The boy-girl vocals coalesce effortlessly into one voice a la Times New Viking, and the damaged guitars are the fuse to a never-ending circuit of blazing stamina. Watch “The Bridge” below.
