Sacramento, CA – July 9, 2025 – Sacramento-based post-hardcore band YUNGER returns this Friday, July 11 with the release of their emotionally explosive two-song 7” single Alive via Negative Progression Records.Following last week’s premiere of the title track “Alive” on New Noise Magazine, the band is now unveiling the B-side “Sinner” today, via Idioteq.com.“‘Sinner’ is a raw, emotionally charged track about the fallout of a toxic relationship and the painful clarity that comes with betrayal,” shares vocalist Jay Malcuit. “It captures the inner conflict of loving someone who can’t love you back.”Pre-save “Alive” now: https://orcd.co/yungeraliveRecorded by Nick Miller (A Skylit Drive) and mastered by Kris Crummett (Sleeping With Sirens, Issues, Dance Gavin Dance), Alivemarks a sharp evolution in Yunger’s songwriting. Drawing on elements of post-hardcore, emo, shoegaze, and dark pop, the band blends haunting atmosphere with blistering catharsis.“Alive explores the emotional weight of being someone’s savior while they spiral through inner turmoil,” says Malcuit. “It reflects the heartbreak of watching someone self-destruct, all while relying on you to keep them afloat.”Formed in 2018, YUNGER previously worked with producer Beau Burchell(Saosin) on a series of self-released singles, racking up over 350K streams across Spotify and Apple Music. Now signed to Negative Progression Records, Yunger continues to grow its passionate West Coast fanbase, with plans to tour in 2025 and a music video for “Alive” scheduled for release this fall.FFO: Movements, Deftones, Balance and Composure, Touché AmoréYUNGER – Alive 7” Out July 11, 2025 via Negative Progression Records Tracklist:AliveSinnerBand Links: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTubeLabel: Negative Progression Records |
