Why You Should Be Listening To Yungblud

I’ve def seen a lot of posts like this going around already which warms my heart, so I figured I’d hop in with my own recommendation for Yungblud, AKA Dominic Harrison, AKA The LOML

It’s music with a message. I know that has been getting more popular these days- which is fantastic- but Dominic has such a uniquely blunt, bold way of stating what he thinks in his songs, reminiscent of the spirit of older punk acts. It’s something that’s really hard to find and really inspiring.

If you want really good examples of that, check out his songs Tin Pan Boy (Calling out gentrification), King Charles (A criticism of capitalist culture), Polygraph Eyes (About r*pe culture), and Machine Gun (F*ck The NRA) (self-explanatory)

“…And for me, to not represent anything, you’re not an artist. To not represent something, or talk about something in your music… You’re not an artist, you’re a singer. And I don’t wanna be a fucking singer, I wanna be an artist.”

He’s only 20, and already has such a clear image of his goals and messages and is making such a big impact like!!! Fuck!!

His style is so unique? Dominic has stated before that he’s inspired heavily by both rock music and rap, and that really shows in his style. If you haven’t heard him before, it’s a sort of mix between hip-hop and punk rock, which sounds weird as fuck but works so well, trust me

“I fell in love simultaneously with hip-hop and rock and roll music because I believe they come from the same soul.They represent something that’s more than the music, there’s an attitude, and they say things.”

He’s just,,, such a genuinely nice and open guy. He’s always so genuine and kind with his fans, in a way that goes above and beyond a lot of artists today.

For example, he refuses to do meet and greets, because, quote, “I will never make someone pay to meet me”. Instead, he makes a point of going out before every show and meeting everyone in line.

“I don’t want to tell anybody what to think, because who the fuck am I to tell people what to think? But I just want to encourage people, tell them they’re empowered and they can think and express themselves in a way they think it’s right. All you can ever be is yourself.”

He is completely open about his own mental health- he mentions his severe ADHD often, and his song Kill Somebody is an extremely intimate self-referential piece exploring his self-loathing and anxiety.

He has so much fucking stage energy. It’s insane. 

This includes, but is not limited to:

Jumping around like a maniac for like an hour and a half straight

That one time he completely snapped his ankle in the middle of a show, and then proceeded to finish the show with the broken ankle, and continue with the rest of his tour, half in a wheelchair and half on crutches

Regularly making out with his guitarist (Adam Warrington) in the middle of songs?

He’s just, so unafraid to be himself and say what he thinks, and it’s really such an infectiously positive and great energy

The Sweetest Boy

He has such cool/fun/interesting music videos???

LOVES hugs, so much,

Bright pink socks are a part of his brand

He has the thickest northern accent ever and it’s so great

CONSTANTLY smashing gender norms in the most fun ways possible

Just,,,, Please Listen To Yungblud

He’s doing his best to spread a positive message and do good in the world and deserves so much more attention than he gets
