Swedish Punk Rock Supergroup Young Acid to Release Album on Majestic Mountain Records

Following the release of singles ‘The Crust’ and ‘Run Boy Run’, Sweden’s well-stacked supergroup is back with another round of powerhouse punk on ‘Into the Depths’…

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you combined Greenleaf, Domkraft, Grand Cadaver, Besvärjelsen and The Moth Gatherer, chances are you would never have imagined anything quite like this.

Young Acid is a Vimmerby-based punk rock powerhouse that unites members of all previously aforementioned underground institutions into one blistering garage rock alliance. Packing raw guitar riffs, seismic energy, and a rebellious spirit, the quintet has already released two singles – ‘The Crust’ and ‘Run Boy Run’ – from their soon to be released debut album, Murder at Maple Mountain, influenced by celebrated Swedish storyteller and Pippi Longstocking author, Astrid Lindgren.

With the band all donning the first name “Mio” in honour of Lindgren’s 1954 novel, Mio, My Son, the playful side of Young Acid is one that is as addictive as the fuzzy, blues heavy and inevitably grooving vibe of new single ‘Into the Depths’, which is premièring now over at Doomed & Stoned.

Voluminous in sound if not duration, clocking in at a punk-friendly thirty-four minutes, Young Acid is on a mission of their own making (their motto is “Nobody can ruin our day, ’cos we’re probably going to ruin it ourselves!”) but it’s one you don’t want to miss.

Murder at Maple Mountain is released 31st May on Majestic Mountain Records | Pre-order here from 19th April, 19:00 [CET]
