"The best features of Bowie and the Locust together. With a characteristic sort-of James Brown funk/soul thing happening. The music is so bizarre and catchy and dancy."
--Anonymous, Delaware Hardcore
"I saw these guys last month at the Logan Memorial Presbyterian in Audobon NJ...and they ATE MY FACE. Apart from that, their singer is a total madman, in a good way."
--Anonymous, Philadelphia Inquirer
"When I arrived there was a band playing called Young Vulgarians. As I was paying my entrance fee, this woman came out screaming, “Now he’s hanging from the rafters!” I walk into the room and the singer was indeed, swinging from the beams of the building which his microphone lodged in his mouth and still singing!"
--Tank Green, Sonic Shags

GNR004 | Young Vulgarians

Napoleonic Melodrama

Shortly after the turn of the 21st century, Young Vulgarians formed and began cultivating a bizarre hybrid of post-hardcore, 1980s Euro-style synth-pop, and shoegaze music at their home base in Philadelphia’s “Dirty South” (aka—Delaware). The result—deranged yet hyper-catchy and dancy pop songs presented at vomit-inducing volumes amidst outlandish and theatrical stage performances.

The Young Vulgarians disbanded in the Summer of 2004. This album is being released as a free, web-only download, with original packaging and artwork.
